During their conversation, Harris also "underscored that US support for Israel's security and self-defense is unwavering," according to a White House readout of the call.
She additionally "reiterated that the bond between the United States and Israel is unshakeable and that we will continue to stay in close touch on these and other issues affecting Israel's security and the stability of the region."
Harris voiced her approval of Israel's efforts to combat terrorism in the country and its actions during the holy month of Ramadan, an Israeli press release on the call said.
Additionally, she revealed that, in a historic first, the US Vice President's Residence would be hosting a traditional Passover seder.
Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish, and he is also the first Jewish spouse of any US vice president in the history of the country.
Last year, the pair celebrated Hanukkah together, and Emhoff posted a photo on Twitter of the two lighting candles while sending holiday greetings to Jews who were also celebrating the holiday.
