Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a right-winger kept at arms length by Washington under former President Joe Biden, will meet U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington next Wednesday, Smotrich's spokesman said on Thursday, APA reports citing Reuters.
Smotrich went to Washington in March 2023 to meet with leaders of Israel's U.S.-based government bonds programme but did not meet any officials from Biden's administration.
