Lapid met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in Washington, D.C., on Monday.
They discussed the need to work on solutions in Gaza, especially the hostage crisis.
Israeli officials said more than 130 people were still being held by Hamas.
Lapid said Israel and the United States must continue to work together to free the hostages.
“We have to bring them home,” Lapid said. “The United States and the State of Israel are our best allies and best friends, and we need to maintain this friendship. Neither current events nor the government intends to interfere with this friendship.”
Lapid criticized Netanyahu for what he called “deteriorating relations” with the United States. He criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu for making little progress in eliminating Hamas or returning hostages.
