Foreign Minister Yair Lapid meets with a congressional delegation sponsored by the dovish J Street lobby at the Knesset for a discussion on US-Israel ties and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This is the second time Lapid has met with a J Street-sponsored congressional delegation. He and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett did so in November.
Previous governments led by former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu largely boycotted J Street.
The delegation of nine progressive Democrats meeting Lapid is one of several that are in Israel this week.
