Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, reiterated on Tuesday that the Biden administration’s commitment to Israel’s security and countering the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is in line with a group of Israeli security officials led by Israeli State Security Adviser Dr. Eyal Hulata.
US National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement, “The meeting was attended by senior U.S. and Israeli defence, military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials. The two sides exchanged views on the most pressing challenges impacting the security and stability of the region, and expressed their shared determination to address the threats facing Israel and regional partners.”
The spokeswoman for the US National Security Council Emily Horne added: “Mr. Sullivan emphasized President Biden’s fundamental commitment to Israel’s security and to ensuring that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. Mr. Sullivan explained that this administration believes diplomacy is the best path to achieve that goal, while also noting that the President has made clear that if diplomacy fails, the United States is prepared to turn to other options.”
