Avigdor Liberman tells Pence he expects to see the US embassy in Jerusalem soon
On his first official visit to the United States since President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman met with his US counterpart Gen. James Mattis and Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday to discuss shared security issues in the Middle East.
During Liberman’s meeting with Gen. Mattis, who were meeting for their second time at the Pentagon, they discussed regional issues as well as Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.
Israeli-American cooperation is critical not only for Israel’s security, but also for the security and stability of the entire Middle East, Lieberman continued. He said the global axis of evil currently extends from Iran to North Korea.
