President Isaac Herzog met on Tuesday with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, about two hours after his meeting with President Joe Biden. At the start of their meeting Blinken told Herzog, "We have a unique bond anchored in a commitment to Israel's security and shared democratic values." Herzog told Blinken, "Welcome Mr. Secretary, it was wonderful to see you before in the Oval Office with President Biden. I want to thank you and I want to thank the American Administration for hosting me so graciously as we mark 75 years of Israel's independence, it is a great historic moment. And of course, marking the unique relations between Israel and the United States." He continued, "I want to thank you Mr. Secretary for pursuing such important goals as containing and limiting, and stopping the Iranian nuclear program, as building a regional coalition of nations which pursues peace and wants more and more integration with Israel in the region." "Of course dealing with the major challenges of humanity, is where Israel can contribute dramatically. And we will be discussing of course the situation in Lebanon and the issue of our missing in action and POWs in Gaza. Thank you very much Mr. Secretary for your friendship and support," added Herzog.
