The meeting took place in Brussels amid the increasing security threat to Israel from Iran as the United States continues efforts to encourage other countries to join US sanctions against Tehran.
Pompeo said the United States continues to back Israel's right to self-defense and will fight against anti-Israeli bias at the United Nations.
During the meeting, Pompeo commended Israel's efforts to maintain effective dialogue with other states in the Middle East and Africa, including Chad and Oman.
