Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in Washington for the first time in nearly three years, engaging in a brief conversation.
The Times of Israel reported that the two leaders shook hands and spoke before the memorial service for the late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on July 28.
This marked their first face-to-face meeting since September 2023. Both leaders attended the memorial service after holding private discussions with former President Donald Trump.
While the two sides considered holding a separate summit during their visit to Washington, no formal talks materialized.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba also met in Washington to discuss bilateral issues.
Cohen stated, “We discussed various challenges facing both countries, including the threat from Iran.”
