More comments by Lapid at the trilateral meeting
Israel Foreign Minister Yair Lapid at the start of his meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the State Department
Lapid thanked the Secretary of State for hosting him and for the trilateral meeting with the United Arab Emirates and said:
“It was a powerful moment which sent a clear message to the entire region about Israel’s relationship with the United States and the whole region.”
“We have a lot to talk about: Iran, expanding the circle of normalization, and regional challenges. But before all of that, I think it’s important to dedicate a moment to discussing the strength and depth of the relationship between our two countries. This relationship is based on values and interests and on the way we view the world, on the way we think the world should look in the future.”
“On top of this, there is a personal relationship both between us and at all levels.”
