President Trump reportedly called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, but the White House kept quiet about the call.

Trump called Netanyahu and talked to the prime minister about his upcoming visit to Israel, senior officials told Haaretz.

The call, which was not publicized by the White House or the prime minister’s office, lasted for about 20 minutes, according to the publication.

The two did not talk about recent reports that Trump revealed highly classified intelligence to Russian officials during a meeting last week.

{mosads}”The conversation dealt with a few issues that needed to be concluded regarding President Trump’s visit to Israel,” an Israeli official told Haaretz.

A report Tuesday said the highly classified information Trump revealed to Russian officials came from Israel.

Israeli officials declined to confirm whether they were the source of the intelligence Trump shared.

In a statement to The New York Times, Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer said Israel “has full confidence in our intelligence-sharing relationship with the United States and looks forward to deepening that relationship in the years ahead under President Trump.”
