Defense Minister Yoav Gallant spoke with his American counterpart, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin a short while ago amid the threat of an Iranian attack on Israel.
“The two discussed Iran’s intentions to attack Israel, military cooperation for joint defense, and the right of the State of Israel to defend itself and act against its enemies,” a readout from Gallant’s office says.
