Gallant holds first set of meetings after arriving in Washington
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant holds an initial set of meetings after arriving in Washington for a stateside visit set to focus on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and the intensive cross-border fighting with Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Gallant first meets with the heads of AIPAC, saying the US “is the most important ally of Israel — and more central than ever before,” before meeting with GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Thank you to @AIPAC leaders Howard Kohr and Arne Christenson for an important discussion at the start of my visit to Washington. Committed to ensuring a strong U.S.- Israel alliance.
