The prime minister did not have a face mask during a joint news conference with Mr Blinken on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has tested positive for Covid-19, his office said on Monday, after he met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Mr Bennett, who met Mr Blinken in Jerusalem on Sunday on the sidelines of a "historic summit" of Israeli and Arab diplomats, "is feeling well and will continue his schedule as planned from his home," a statement from his office said.
Also on Sunday, Mr Bennett visited the northern Israeli city of Hadera after gunmen shot dead two police officers in an attack claimed by the jihadist Islamic State group.
Police said the two gunmen -- Israeli Arabs identified by Israeli intelligence as local IS operatives -- were killed by counterterrorism officers who happened to be nearby.
