It was a “wonderful meeting “ with US President Joe Biden, says President Isaac Herzog at the White House after the two leaders sit for about an hour.
Herzog says that US interest in the judicial reform “comes from deep worry” and care for Israel’s welfare.
“Israel is very important to the world, to the region, and to the US,” he continues.
Herzog says that the White House and international interest in Israel’s success is “another reason to reach agreement and compromise.”
Herzog says that Biden reiterated his commitment and love for Israel in the meeting. “It’s family ties.”
Herzog says they also discussed Hezbollah, the Iranian nuclear threat, building regional cooperation, and “also what’s happening in Israel.”
