Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomes US National Security Adviser John Bolton to his residence in Jerusalem for dinner, together with the two nations’ ambassadors to each other, David Friedman and Ron Dermer.
According to a Hebrew-language statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu says the main topic of discussions with Bolton will be “how to continue to push back against Iranian aggression in the region, and to promise that they will never have nuclear weapons.”
Netanyahu praises Bolton as a “true friend of Israel and an enthusiastic supporter of the alliance between America and Israel.”
He says Bolton’s visit is “of great importance in light of President Trump’s decisions to move the embassy to Jerusalem and to leave the bad deal with Iran.
Bolton, according to the statement, says it is “a great honor to be here.”
