Hillary Clinton met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday evening, hours after he huddled with GOP nominee Donald Trump. 

{mosads}Clinton “reaffirmed her unwavering commitment to the U.S.-Israel relationship” during the meeting, senior campaign aide said. 

The two leaders had an “in-depth” conversation about the nations’s shared “overarching strategic interests and the common values of democracy, equality, tolerance, and pluralism.”

The aide said that Clinton “committed to continue to work closely with Israel to enforce and implement the nuclear deal with Iran … [and] address other regional challenges, including the conflict in Syria and terrorist threats from ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah.”

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict was also discussed, with Clinton reaffirming “her commitment to work toward a two-state solution”  and “her opposition to any attempt by outside parties to impose a solution, including by the UN Security Council,” the aide said. 

During his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump said he’d recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
