US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed working together to confront what their countries describe as the "Iranian threat," as well as plans for "the form of governance in the Gaza Strip" the day after the end of the aggression.

Talk of these discussions comes at a time when Israel, with absolute American support, is insisting on continuing the genocide in Gaza and proceeding with plans to occupy its north and other areas of the Strip.

Netanyahu's office said the latter met with Blinken in his office in Jerusalem shortly after the latter's arrival in Israel today.

The office said in a statement that Netanyahu and Blinken's meeting lasted about two and a half hours and was "friendly and fruitful."

Following this bilateral meeting, the American and Israeli sides held an expanded meeting with the participation of the working groups, and the presidency of Netanyahu and Blinken.

According to the same statement, "the issue of the Iranian threat was raised during the meeting, and the necessity of the two countries joining forces to confront it."

Netanyahu thanked Blinken for the US support for Israel in what he claimed was a war against the "axis of evil and Iranian terrorism."
