The Biden administration’s review of Iran’s response to the final E.U. draft agreement has been completed, and its response has been conveyed to the Europeans, says U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price.
U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt was in Argentina for the AMIA bombing ceremony, where attendees waved black-and-white photos of the victims.
“Our commitment to our Israeli partners, Israel’s security, is ironclad,” said Ned Price.
Senior staff and American ambassadors across the Middle East have been in close communication with Israeli and Palestinian officials seeking to de-escalate tensions.
“Israel is committed to building a good partnership with anyone against the radical axis of Iran,” says Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll.
“Terrorism ... is how you conduct negotiations, Tehran-style” says Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, after U.S. grants sanctions waivers in run-up to resumption of Vienna talks.
The U.S. hopes that the meeting will “advance freedom, security, and prosperity for Palestinians and Israelis alike in 2022,” says State Department spokesman Ned Price.
“Our thoughts are with the victims of this attack and their families,” tweets State Department Spokesman Ned Price.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price: “The delegation provided a verbal briefing on information that they had on certain groups. They provided written materials. We’ve provided those written materials to our counterparts in the administration.”
In an interview with Israel’s Army Radio, Joshua Zarka, deputy director-general of strategic affairs in the Foreign Ministry, claimed that there was “definitely an exchange and discussion” with America on the issue.
“Reports of civilian deaths are something that we regret and would like to come to a stop,” said U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price dismissed the criticism, saying that it took oversight of UNRWA “extraordinarily seriously,” and that it would now have “a seat at the table.”
