Lew held discussions with Israeli officials on the Iran nuclear deal and sanctions that remain in place, among other topics, US Ambassador Dan Shapiro says.

“It may be his last visit to Israel in his current job, and I have appreciated his friendship and his steadfast commitment to close US-Israel ties,” Shapiro writes.
