Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer meets in Washington with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, discussing Israel-US cooperation on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
A spokesperson for the US National Security Council tells The Times of Israel that the meeting centered around a number of topics, including “the transition to a different phase of the war to maximize focus on high-value Hamas targets.”
The meeting also included talks on steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza and minimize harm to civilians and efforts to bring home the remaining hostages, as well as “planning for the day after [the war], including governance and security in Gaza, a political horizon for the Palestinian people, and continued work on normalization and integration.”
Dermer, a close Netanyahu confidant who often serves as a quasi-foreign minister, was also slated to meet with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his trip.
