Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he spoke with President-elect Donald Trump three times in recent days, adding that the two see “eye to eye” on Iran.
Netanyahu was the first world leader to congratulate Trump on his victory, as he was for President Joe Biden in 2020. Previously, only one phone call between Netanyahu and Trump was known before Sunday – Netanyahu revealed another two.
“These were very good and important conversations. We see eye to eye on the Iranian threat in all its components, and the danger it poses. We also see the great opportunities that Israel faces, in the field of peace and its expansion, and in other areas,” Netanyahu said.
A senior Israeli official told Axios that Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer will be sent to Mar-a-Lago this week.
Trump’s animus for Iran is well-known. Tehran has openly signaled its intention to assassinate the president-elect in retaliation for his assassination of former Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Qassem Soleimani.
