JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US Vice President JD Vance at Blair House in Washington on Tuesday night.

Israeli officials told CNN that Netanyahu is expected to meet separately with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, July 29.

In recent months, Vance has publicly criticized Israel, accusing members of Netanyahu's cabinet of trying to sabotage Iran negotiations and seeking to reverse American public opinion against them, warning Israel of alienating "the only strong ally left for them."

The meeting with Vance followed an earlier Oval Office meeting between Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, which was also attended by Vance and Hegseth, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff.

In his statement, Netanyahu called the meeting in the Oval Office a very good meeting.

"One of the best conversations I've ever had with the President of the United States," he said.

Netanyahu stressed full partnership and mutual support, and stated that both sides have a common goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, in addition to addressing other goals.
