(JNS) In an address to foreign reporters, Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who did not take questions, lauded a "wonderful meeting" with U.S. President Joe Biden, whom he called a "huge friend of Israel," according to pool reports.
Herzog told reporters that he and the president discussed "many issues" during the meeting, including the "Iranian nuclear threat."
"Naturally we also discussed the internal issues in Israel," Herzog said. "We should see the current debate in Israel with all its facets as a tribute to the strength of the Israeli democracy."
Herzog arrived at the White House on Tuesday for a meeting with Biden, the first stop in the Israeli head of state’s official trip to Washington and New York.
