Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he has spoken three times with President-elect Trump in recent days. Netanyahu is also sending Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer to Mar-a-Lago this week, a senior Israeli official told Axios.
Why it matters: The challenge of Israel's multi-front war and the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East will soon fall to Trump. Netanyahu's comment and his adviser's trip suggest they're already coordinating closely.
