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.
