Iran will be top of the agenda as talks between U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu kicked off in Lisbon on Wednesday. Netanyahu praised Pompeo last month for an announcement of a softening of the longtime U.S. position on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Pompeo declared that Washington no longer considered the Jewish settlements to be in violation of international law, a policy shift that drew condemnation from Palestinians and Arab leaders.
