“The two discussed the continued strengthening of cooperation between the organizations across the various arenas,” the Shin Bet says, adding that they also discussed “challenges facing the organizations during this sensitive period.”

The pair also met with the Shin Bet’s brass for a security briefing and “discussions on essential coordination and cooperation between the organizations,” the agency adds.
