Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was hosted in a virtual meeting by leaders of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Friday morning in a half-hour conversation covering a number of topics.

According to a news release from Conference of Presidents CEO William Daroff, it resulted in an “open and meaningful exchange of views,” and an opportunity to exchange holiday greetings in advance of Rosh Hashanah.

Bennett discussed what the release called a successful meeting between him and U.S. President Joe Biden last week, as well as the strong friendship between the United States and Israel.

Other topics included the increasing threat posed by Iran, issues related to Jerusalem and efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

“When I heard about this opportunity and the opportunity to build a new business school at Touro, it was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up,” Larry Singleton told JNS.
The sides finalized plans to expand pilot zones in southern Lebanon as part of a U.S.-brokered framework aimed at restoring Lebanese sovereignty and disarming Hezbollah, the official said.
“I don’t know who he went through,” the board told JNS. “He didn’t go through us.”
“World Vision is severely compromised by ties to Islamist terrorists and a radical left wing climate change agenda,” the senior Trump administration official told JNS. “Why is he funding them?”
