In Jerusalem Blinken and Netanyahu discussed providing support to Ukraine and measures to counter Iran

During the meeting in Jerusalem, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Israeli Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu have discussed measures to counter Iran, including its military aid to the Russian Federation, and providing comprehensive support to Ukraine as well

This was reported by Ukrinform.

Blinken said this during a common press conference with the head of the Israeli government following the meeting on Monday, January 30.

“We discussed deepening cooperation to confront and counter Iran’s destabilizing activities in the region and beyond.  Just as Iran has long supported terrorists that attack Israelis and others, the regime is now providing drones that Russia is using to kill innocent Ukrainian civilians," Blinken noted.

He noted that Moscow, in turn, is providing sophisticated weaponries to Iran. 

"Russia’s ongoing atrocities only underscore the importance of providing support for all of Ukraine’s needs – humanitarian, economic, and security," the US Secretary of State noted, adding that this topic was also discussed during the meeting in Jerusalem.
