#shorts On 7/18/2023, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Did the President address at all Congresswoman Jayapal’s comments in his meeting with Herzog?”

KJP: Say that one more time?

Heinrich: Did the President have to address Congresswoman Jayapal’s comment that Israel is a racist state? Did that come up?

KJP: What do you mean “had to address”?
Heinrich: Did it come up all in the conversation with President Herzog?
KJP: I mean, they’re currently having a conversation right now in the bilat.

Heinrich: Did he plan to address it? Did it come up in his call with Netanyahu yesterday?

KJP: I mean, the President has been very clear — right? — and I kind of stated this at the at the beginning: The United States and Israel’s relationship is a special one. There’s a special bond. There’s a commitment, and it is a commitment to Israel’s right to exist, Israel’s security and its legit- — legitimacy. I mean, that’s one of the reasons that the President spoke to the Prime Minister yesterday and is having this important meeting with the Israeli President. They’re going to have a conversation on how we continue to grow that special relationship. As I just laid out, 75 years of Israel’s independence is being celebrated this year. And we think it’s important to continue that relationship.
