Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili in Tel Aviv, as both leaders vow to deepen ties between Jerusalem and Tbilisi.
“It’s a delight to welcome you, Georgia and Israel have had very warm relations,” Netanyahu tells his Georgian counterpart. “We have many, many Jews who came from Georgia, it’s a living bridge… I know that we can bring our relations to even greater heights.”
Garibashvili says that he is “always happy to be in Israel,” and that his country has “a very special relationship and friendship with Israel, with the Jewish people.”
