Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is expected in Washington tomorrow (Tuesday) for talks on the next phase of the war in Gaza, according to Axios.
The US has been pressing Israel to scale back intensive fighting against the Palestinian terror group Hamas amid the mounting death toll.
The report, citing an unnamed senior Israeli official, says Dermer will meet White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Congress members. The discussions will reportedly include the question of who governs the Strip after the war.
The report quotes an unnamed US official saying the main point of discussion between the countries is “how to wrap things up and on what timeframe.”
Dermer is a former Israeli ambassador to the US.
