Ex-PM Bennett holds hour long meeting with Jake Sullivan to discuss Israel-Hamas war
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
Former prime minister Naftali Bennett met US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan at the White House earlier today.
The meeting lasted an hour and the two discussed the Israel-Hamas war along with its regional ramifications, his office tells the Walla news site.
Bennett also met today with a group of Congress members, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Good meeting with friends in congress.
Received full support for Israel’s goals: bringing the 240 hostages home and defeating Hamas.
