U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris spoke on the phone with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Monday.
According to a White House readout of the call, after Harris congratulated Herzog on his new position, the two leaders spoke about continuing to deepen the relationship between Israel and the United States.
Harris also stated America’s commitment to pursuing the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which it believes will advance “freedom, security, dignity and opportunity for people on both sides.”
Harris thanked Herzog for following up on her request for Israeli assistance in Central America—providing water-catchment systems in Guatemala and collaborating with the U.S. Agency for International Development to train farmers in “climate-smart agriculture.”
