Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, shortly after the secretary landed for a visit in Israel, the Prime Minister’s Office says.

During the meeting, Noem “expressed unequivocal support for the Prime Minister and for Israel,” says the PMO.

She also “conveyed deep appreciation” for Netanyahu’s policy “regarding the construction of the border fence along the Egypt border and his management of the war” in Gaza, says the PMO.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and senior PMO officials also participated in the meeting.

During her visit, Noem will attend a memorial ceremony for the two US embassy staffers killed in Washington DC last week, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, as well as participate in Jerusalem Day celebrations.

Earlier today, Netanyahu met with Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen, adds the PMO.
