The topic of discussion included the ongoing negotiations on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers as well as the crisis in Ukraine.
"It is important that any future agreement with Iran will include consistent enforcement by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency," Gantz stressed, according to a statement by his office.

He lauded "the unparalleled, strategic bond between Israel and the US. Our ties and cooperation contribute to the security of both our nations and to the Middle East region as a whole."
Gantz is in Germany for the Munich Security Conference, which this year is dominated by the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Western officials in Munich continued to raise the alarm about Moscow's intentions towards Ukraine, after US President Joe Biden said Friday that he was "convinced" Putin planned to invade, including with an attack on the capital Kyiv, within days.

This will be Harris' second meeting with an Israeli official since taking office after sitting down with Foreign Minister Yair Lapid in Washington last year.
