WASHINGTON, Jan 24 — The Biden administration will work closely with Israel on regional security issues and to build on the country’s regional normalisation agreements, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told his Israeli counterpart, according to a statement today.

"They discussed opportunities to enhance the partnership over the coming months, including by building on the success of Israel’s normalisation arrangements with UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco,” according to a statement on Sullivan’s call on Saturday with Israel’s Meir Ben Shabbat.

Sullivan also extended an invitation to begin a strategic dialogue in the near term, the statement said. — Reuters
