“I am so very happy to meet you,” said Bennett. “I felt it’s important that we meet after a year of the Abraham Accords, which, from our perspective, is very meaningful.”
“First of all, I want to tell you that I met the king of Jordan and the president of Egypt, and they are of course delighted with the relationship between our countries, and I want to assure you of continuity,” added the prime minister. “We are stable and we believe in this relationship and we want to expand it as much as possible.”
