Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar met in Washington on Wednesday with U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) to discuss regional security challenges, including the threat posed by the Iranian regime and its terror proxies.
Sa’ar emphasized that Jerusalem would not allow “radical forces” to establish a presence along its borders that could endanger its citizens, he said in an X post on Thursday.
He described Mast as a “steadfast friend of Israel and a true champion of the U.S.-Israel alliance.”
It was a pleasure to meet again with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman @RepBrianMast, a steadfast friend of Israel and a true champion of the U.S.-Israel alliance.
