Iโm happy to be here with @VP, one of Israelโs best friends in Washington. A leader who always stands with us in all the important struggles and who we can always count on in difficult moments.
I just met with @SpeakerPelosi, a great friend of Israel. I personally thanked her and all the members of Congress who supported the replenishment of the Iron Dome missile defense system for their support of Israelโs security.
In the first meeting of my visit to Washington, I met with @JakeSullivan46. We discussed a number of security issues, namely the Iranian threat. I shared with him Israelโs concern about Iranโs race towards nuclear capability, and that Iran is becoming a nuclear threshold state.

FM @yairlapid:
โI congratulate Israeli Energy Minister @KElharrar and Jordanian Water Minister Mohammad al-Najjar on signing an important agreement to double Jordan's water quotas. This is what good neighbors do, in line with Israel's policy of connection with other countries.
Thanks for showing moral clarity in rejecting the Durban resolution at the HRC in Geneva, a vote consistent with boycotting the recent Durban event in NY. Fighting racism is a noble cause, it cannot be achieved with the antisemitic Durban process ๐ต๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐น ๐จ๐ฟ ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ซ๐ท ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ง
Congratulations to @memeddx!

Today I had an excellent meeting with @DavidHarrisAJC, CEO of @AJCGlobal discussing #EU Israel relations.
I would like to thank AJC for its continues support to #Israel and the successful ongoing relationship.
Incredible. Archeologists in Israel have discovered what is believed to be the world's largest complex of Byzantine winepresses.
The factory, which is 1,500 years old was able to produce 2 million liters of wine annually.

Chancellor Merkel, there wasn't one moment in your long tenure when you attempted to evade the memory of the Holocaust. Instead, you led an entire people, an entire nation, to look at history with an almost punishing honesty. To examine every action through the lens of history.

Today, I hosted Angela Merkel for lunch in Jerusalem to thank her for her long friendship with Israel, including 16 years as Chancellor of Germany. Thanked her for her personal commitment to Israelโs security and Holocaust remembrance. She will always be welcome back in Israel.
