Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Sunday he spoke with US President Joe Biden and discussed ways to halt Iran's nuclear program.
The two leaders also spoke about Russia-Ukraine tensions and Bennett said he had congratulated Biden on the US raid that led to the death of the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Ibrahim al-Quraishi.
Bennett said in a statement that he thanked Biden for his support of Israel and invited him to visit. Biden told Bennett he looked forward to a visit later this year, the White House said in a statement.
Biden also emphasised to Bennett his "full support" for replenishing Israel's Iron Dome missile-defence system, the White House said.
