US President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday for his first trip to the Middle East since taking office.
during his four-day visit to the Middle East, President Biden will hold talks with Israeli, Palestinian and Saudi officials.
But Biden was received at Ben Gurion Airport by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, the prime minister and other officials.
In a short speech, President Biden vowed to promote "Israeli harmony in the Middle East" and expressed support for a two-state formula for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
"We will continue to work for Israel's integration into the region," he said.
President Biden was then shown Israel's state-of-the-art missile defense system, which was set up at the airport.
Benny Gentz gave a classified security briefing.
During his visit to Israel, President Joe Biden will meet with Israeli leaders who want to increase cooperation with the United States against Iran.
Israel's caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who took office two weeks ago, said talks with President Biden would focus Iran's attention on the issue.
Will do everything possible to thwart Israel is strongly opposed to the resumption of the 2015 agreement with Iran by the United States and world powers.
On the other hand, Israeli officials have said that they are planting 10,000 flags in Jerusalem to welcome President Biden.
Biden has not yet reversed former President Donald Trump's controversial decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
