US President Joe Biden “dropped by” a meeting at the White House between his National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Mossad chief Yossi Cohen on Friday, as a delegation of senior Israeli officials continued their talks in Washington on the Iran nuclear issue.

The apparently unplanned run-in was confirmed by a spokesperson for the US National Security Council who said that Cohen and Sullivan were meeting to “discuss regional security issues.”

“President Biden dropped by to express condolences for the tragedy at Mount Meron,” the spokesperson said Saturday, referring to the crush that killed 45 people.

The comments came hours after Channel 12 reported that Biden and Cohen held a meeting at the White House to discuss Iran.
