In praising the alliance between the two countries, Lapid also noted disagreements amid ongoing negations regarding the Iran nuclear deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will have disagreements, but they are not about the essence, they are all about how to get there,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe want the same things we sometimes disagree about how to achieve. Israel has some serious reservations about the Iran nuclear deal that is being put together in Vienna.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blinken downplayed President Trump\u2019s Abraham Accords by telling his Israeli counterpart they do not apply to Palestinian groups and Israel should open separate talks with the Palestinian authority to discuss their disagreements directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019ve also discovered or perhaps rediscovered that as important as they are, as vital as they are, they are not a substitute for engaging on the issues between Israelis and Palestinians that need to be resolved,\u201d noted the U.S. Secretary of State.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2438786\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2438786\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2438786 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AP21178601463062.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid meets with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Rome, Sunday, June 27, 2021.
