Opposition leader Yair Lapid meets US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan in Tel Aviv, and calls for disagreements between allies to stay out of the public eye.
“The strategic relations between Israel and the United States are stronger than any government,” says the former prime minister.
“We will manage any disagreements behind closed doors as we have always done in the past. That’s how close allies work, the world needs to know that our strategic relations are strong.”
He says that US-Israel ties are especially important right now, given that Iran “will enter a period of instability.”
Lapid says that a solution – military or diplomatic- must be found for the conflict with Hezbollah that has driven almost 100,000 Israelis from their homes.
