Blinken congratulated Lapid on becoming prime minister and reaffirmed Washington’s “unwavering commitment to the US-Israel partnership, Israel’s security and to countering shared threats, including those from Iran,” the State Department said in a statement.
The top US diplomat “also emphasized US support for a negotiated two-state solution” and said that “Biden looks forward to celebrating our partnership with Israel during his upcoming visit.”
US President Joe Biden’s Twitter account posted a congratulatory message to Lapid at midnight between Thursday and Friday, the minute he officially replaced Naftali Bennett as prime minister.
Hebrew media reported at the time, citing Israeli officials, that Biden would call Lapid on Friday, but the Blinken conversation on Wednesday indicated the president would not be speaking to the prime minister until Biden lands in Israel for a visit next Wednesday. Biden will go to Israel and the West Bank during the three-day trip. READ MORE
