White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will visit Israel and the West Bank this week to consult on Iran and a wide range of other issues, the White House said on December 20.
Mr. Sullivan will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett while in Israel and will visit Ramallah for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, the White House said.
Talks between Iran and world powers aimed at reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal have been put on pause until next week after making no progress.
In his talks with the Israelis, Mr. Sullivan will reaffirm theU.S. commitment to Israel’s security and "consult on a range of issues, including the threat posed by Iran," the White House statement said.
In Ramallah, Mr. Sullivan will discuss with Mr. Abbas the ongoing efforts to strengthen U.S.-Palestinian ties and advance peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis alike, the statement said.
