Share:Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Sunday that his visit to Washington was successful and achieved its goals. Biden and I have developed a direct and personal relationship built on trust," Bennett told reporters shortly before leaving the US capital. On the Iranian file, Bennett said he and Biden "agreed on joint strategic cooperation to halt Iran's nuclear race." On the situation in Gaza, Bennett said the Israeli army will continue to strike Gaza in response to the incendiary balloons fired from Gaza and to Palestinian protests on the strip’s border areas. Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority stopped in April 2014 as the former refused to halt settlement activities on occupied Palestinian lands.
