Delegations from the United States and Israel began discussions this week on a new long-term security cooperation agreement as the two countries navigate their evolving relationship.

Daniel Holler, counselor to the State Department, and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee are leading the U.S. delegation, while Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram and Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter are representing the Israelis. They held the inaugural talks this week, and further sessions will occur in the coming weeks.
