U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid met in Rome on Sunday where they discussed common interests.
In their first face-to-face meeting since Israel's new government was sworn in two weeks ago, Blinken and Lapid said they would also discuss Israel's normalization accords with Gulf Arab states. Blinken said he would also be raising the issue of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
The secretary said the United States supports Israel's normalization accords, but they cannot be a substitute for engaging in issues between Israelis and Palestinians.
Lapid described an upcoming trip to United Arab Emirates as "historic," but added Israel has "serious reservations" about the Iran nuclear deal hammered out in Vienna.
