National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat and Ambassador to the US Gilad Erdan are meeting with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Channel 12 reports.
The report says US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also slated to meet with Mossad chief Yossi Cohen.
The high-level Israeli delegation is in Washington to voice objection to the US return to the accord.
