Blue and White Party Chairman Benny Gantz met on Sunday President Mort Fridman and Executive Director Howard Kohr of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Gantz called members of the lobby "true friends of Israel" and said, "We discussed the security and political challenges facing the State of Israel, headed by the struggle against Iranian aggression. I told them that I was determined to continue to strengthen the strategic relations between Israel and the United States and thanked them for the important AIPAC beyond-party activities with the US government."
