Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with US Senator Lindsey Graham in occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Monday morning.

Their discussion focused on “the Iranian threat, which is faced by both Israel and the US, and ways to deal with it,” according to a readout by Bennett’s office.

“They also discussed the security challenges in the Middle East and ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation,” the statement added.

After the meeting, Bennett thanked Graham, a Republican, for being “a true friend of Israel in both good times and in more challenging moments.”

The meeting came as Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said during a news conference in Tehran that key issues were still under discussion.
