Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he had an “excellent and warm” meeting with JD Vance, the U.S. vice president, and Mike Waltz, the U.S. national security advisor, on Wednesday.

“The friendship between Israel and the United States has never been stronger,” Netanyahu stated.

Neither the White House nor Netanyahu’s office had provided a readout of the meeting at press time.

The Israeli prime minister’s office released silent video footage of the meeting, which was held at the Blair House near the White House. Netanyahu was seated on an easy chair across from the two U.S. officials, who sad side-by-side on a small couch.

When the camera pans out, it appears to show Tzachi Braverman, Netanyahu’s chief of staff, among at least half a dozen of others at the meeting.

“When journalists make these requests, they’re really made on behalf of the public, not to bury the issue and respond 11 months later,” Randy Mastro, a former deputy New York City mayor, told JNS.
“Under any Republican administration, Israelis are never going to be sanctioned for simply advocating against aid to Hamas or advocating against illegal Palestinian construction,” Eugene Kontorovich, a law professor, told JNS.
The USAID Inspector General’s office is “also working to prevent Hamas-linked staff from jumping to other aid organizations operating in Gaza,” a senior Trump admin official told JNS.
“Regardless of how it is ultimately classified, incidents like this send shockwaves through the Jewish community,” Rabbi Noah Farkas of Jewish Federation Los Angeles told JNS.
Prosecutors said the man caused damage to both facilities before sending texts boasting about the vandalism.
Despite Israeli objections to previously reported terms, the official said Washington is confident that all U.S. allies “will get on board” with the emerging agreement.
