Israel’s new government reaffirmed its close cooperation with the United States (US) on Sunday. However, Israel has expressed “serious reservations” about Washington’s efforts to re-engage in an international agreement on the Iran nuclear program.
According to the details, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid in Rome for the first time after the 12 year government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to an end.
On the occasion, Yair Lipid said that Israel has reservations about the resumption of the nuclear deal with Iran which he will express to the US privately.

“Israel has some serious reservations about the Iran nuclear deal that is being put together in Vienna,” Lapid said on Sunday. “We believe the way to discuss those disagreements is through direct and professional conversations, not in press conferences.”
Ahead of the two leaders’ meeting, the Israeli foreign minister said there had been some mistakes in relations between the two countries in the past with Netanyahu closely aligning himself with former US President Donald Trump and Republicans in the US Congress.

Israel’s top diplomat, Yair Lipid, who will be the next prime minister after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett under the power-sharing agreement, said he had spoken to Democrats and Republicans since taking office and reminded them that the US continues to pursue fundamental values, freedom, democracy, the free market and peace.
On the occasion, Antony Blinken acknowledged that although Biden’s administration took office five months ago and administration of Bennett is two weeks old, “the foundation that we’re working on is one of an enduring partnership, a relationship, friendship between the United States and Israel.”
