Trump, Clinton meet separately with Netanyahu
U.S.-Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration — which Trump regularly condemns on the campaign trail — and strategic military coordination between the two countries.
The two also spoke about terrorism in the Middle East, the Islamic State militant group, cybersecurity and Israel’s economy.
Similarly, a senior Clinton aide said that the two had an “in-depth” conversation.
“Secretary Clinton stressed that a strong and secure Israel is vital to the United States because we share overarching strategic interests and the common values of democracy, equality, tolerance and pluralism,” the aide said.
“She reaffirmed her unwavering commitment to the U.S.-Israel relationship and her plan to take our partnership to the next level.”
According to the Clinton campaign, they also discussed the Iran nuclear deal and her commitment to working toward a two-state solution to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Netanyahu “thanked Mr. Trump for his friendship and support for Israel,” according to the prime minister’s office.
Trump “agreed with Prime Minister Netanyahu that the Israeli people want a just and lasting peace with their neighbors, but that peace will only come when the Palestinians renounce hatred and violence and accept Israel as a Jewish State,” the campaign said in a statement.
