Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar met with Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) in Jerusalem on Sunday, the top diplomat said on X.

Sa’ar called Scott “a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people,” and thanked him for his “longstanding support.”

“Senator Scott stands firmly with Israel in opposing the boycott movement and attempts to exert reprehensible economic pressure on our country,” Sa’ar said.
