During the one-on-one meeting with the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, said that Israel and Georgia have very warm relations.

“Prime Minister, it’s a delight to welcome you. Georgia and Israel have had very warm relations. Connections go back 2500 years, perhaps even 2600 years through the Jewish community in Georgia. We have many, many Jews who came from Georgia. It’s a living bridge.

I, myself, had an opportunity to visit Georgia and I know that we can bring our relations to even greater heights and welcome this opportunity during your visit. So, you’re welcome in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem! Next time in Jerusalem as we say!” - said the Prime Minister of Israel.
