American and Israeli officials on Monday reaffirmed their commitments to economic policy coordination and cooperation in a virtual event marking the 35th meeting of the US–Israel Joint Economic Development Group (JEDG.)
This annual economic policy dialogue between the two nations has been held since 1985, a press release from the US Embassy in Jerusalem noted.
