Biden meets with Israeli leaders, with focus on Iran and Saudi Arabia

JERUSALEM — President Joe Biden sought to reaffirm U.S. support for Israel and present a united front between the two nations on a range of issues from Iran to Russia's war in Ukraine as he kicked off a day of meetings with Israeli leaders here on Thursday.

Biden met Thursday with Israeli caretaker prime minister Yair Lapid, who said the two leaders spoke about ways to improve relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia and their shared commitment never to allow a nuclear Iran.

Biden said he discussed with Lapid Israel's growing ties with its neighbors and reiterated support for Israel's security from the "vast majority of the American public."
