He disclosed this in a tweet on Wednesday.
“Glad to be in Israel to coordinate with @IsraeliPM @Netanyahu and @Gantzbe on countering two critical threats: COVID-19 and Iran. Israel and the United States will take on these challenges side by side,” he tweeted.
The U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran have been opposing each other for years, leading to various sanctions and military attacks, which has largely destabilized the Arab world.
