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.

“Justice will find you,” said Jennifer Runyan, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Detroit field office.
“A lot of people voted practically, and to say we want whoever can pose a significant enough bloc or be able to replace Netanyahu,” Rabbi Josh Weinberg of the Union for Reform Judaism told JNS.
An NYPD spokesman told JNS that “the department explored different cell-site simulators and determined that this device best met the needs of the NYPD.”
The non-Jewish council member, who grew up on the Upper East Side, told JNS that she was raised in a “proud Zionist household.”
