Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday morning met with a bipartisan US Congressional delegation led by US Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) in the Prime Minister’s Office. Also present were US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and US Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). They discussed regional issues, including Iran and Syria.

The Prime Minister spoke with the delegation members about the activities of Iran, which is undermining stability in the region and endangering the security of Israel, and ways to increase the pressure on Iran.

Prime Minister Netanyahu commended the bipartisan presence expected at the American Independence Day ceremony, which will be held in Jerusalem for the first time.
