Israel's prime minister said he has spoken to the US president-elect three times since the election with the aim of tightening the alliance between their nations.

"These were good and very important conversations," Mr Netanyahu said in a statement.

"We see eye to eye on the Iranian threat in all its components, and the danger posed by it. We also see the great opportunities before Israel, in the field of peace and its expansion, and in other fields."

Israel and Iran have traded strikes in the last year since the Hamas attacks, with neither side appearing to want a full-scale conflict.

The past year has seen Iranian proxy forces including in Gaza (Hamas), Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Yemen (Houthi rebels) attack Israeli and other Western assets in the region as part of the so-called Axis of Resistance in retaliation for the situation in Gaza.
