The Israeli and American national security advisers spoke on the phone for the second time in recent weeks, the White House confirmed Friday, as the countries intensify their discussions on Iran — an issue they don’t see eye-to-eye on.
The phone call between Meir Ben-Shabbat and Jake Sullivan took place on a secure line on Thursday and also included other senior national security officials from both countries, Axios reported.
It came just 16 days after their first conversation, during which they also discussed Iran, but Thursday’s discussion was considerably longer, according to Israeli officials.
The call came shortly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to appoint Ben-Shabbat as Israel’s main point-man for talks on Iran with the US and other major powers, senior officials told Axios.
Ben-Shabbat is expected to convene a team in the coming days to determine Israel’s strategy for talks with the Biden administration regarding the planned US return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Netanyahu is expected to hold a meeting on the same subject in the coming weeks with Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and other security officials. READ MORE
