Rome. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid met in Rome on Sunday as their new governments look forward to initiate a new phase of diplomatic ties between America and Israel, which seems more like a hush-hush diplomacy.
Now with Trump and Netanyahu sidelined in their respective countries, President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett are focused on pragmatic diplomacy rather than dramatic initiatives which is more likely to advantage opposition at home, serving as a further distraction.

āIn the past few years, mistakes were madeā, Lapid told Blinken as they sat down for talks in Rome. āIsraelās bipartisan standing was hurt. We will fix those mistakes togetherā.
Lapid said he has spoken with Democrats and Republicans since taking office and had āreminded them all that we share Americaās most basic, basic values- freedom, democracy, a free-market and constant search for peaceā.

Blinken noted that even though the two governments are new, āthe foundation that we are working on is one of the enduring partnership, a relationship, friendship between the United States and Israelā.
The push means aiming for smaller achievements, like shoring up the informal cease-fire that ended last monthās war with Gaza militant Hamas rulers and replenishing Israelās iron dome defense system. A major push to revive the long-term dormant peace process between Israel and Palestinians could unsettle the delicate balance.
āNobody thinks itās a good idea to start charging through on a major new peace initiative,ā said Ilan Goldenberg, a Mideast security expert at the non-profit centre of New American Security. ā But there are thing you can do quietly under the radar, on the ground, to improve the situationā.
The Americans and Israelās will try to work out differences away from the public, as in Biden's āquietā diplomacy, when he privately urged Netanyahu to calm down the Israel-Hamas war ahead of a truce that took place on May 21.
āWe believe the way to discuss those disagreements is through direct and professional conversations, not a press conference,ā said Lapid.
Both governments will try to preserve Israelās fragile governing coalition, in part by reducing provocations that played part in sparking the 11-day war which claimed at least 254 Palestinian lives and killed 13 people in Israel.
