Defense Minister Yoav Gallant meets with White House Mideast envoy Brett McGurk at his office in Tel Aviv to discuss the ongoing talks for a ceasefire-truce deal with Hamas and US weapons shipments to Israel.
“The two discussed the progress achieved in discussions regarding an agreement for the release of hostages, with an emphasis on the security measures required to prevent weapons smuggling into Gaza,” Gallant’s office says in a statement.
“During their discussion, Coordinator McGurk updated Minister Gallant regarding the delivery of critical munition, some of which will be sent to Israel in the coming days. This discussion was a follow-up to meetings the minister had with McGurk and other senior US leadership in DC,” the statement says.
