Trilateral Security Talks Set for Jerusalem in June

Many who laud Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu point to the unusual access to world leaders he has developed. Unparalleled among Western heads of government is Netanyahu’s close relationships with Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. Against that backdrop, it’s been announced that Russian, Israeli and American defense officials will meet in Israel next month. National Security Adviser John Bolton, his Israeli counterpart Meir Ben-Shabbat and Russian Security Council secretary Nicholai Patrushev will discuss security issues in Jerusalem in June.
