US vice president Kamala Harris and Israeli president Isaac Herzog met as his visit the US continues.

Standing alongside a visiting President Isaac Herzog, US Vice President Kamala Harris announced a new joint five-year initiative between the US and Israel in which each country will invest up to $35 million “to support climate-smart agriculture through innovative technologies and improved capture, storage, use, and protection of critical water resources in the Middle East and Africa.”

Harris made the comments in front of reporters ahead of her private meeting with Herzog. The vice president emphasized the “unbreakable bond” between the two countries and America’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel’s security.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog pushed to broker formal diplomatic ties between his country and Saudi Arabia, saying that a normalisation agreement would be transformative.
