Defense Minister Yoav Gallant speaks again with his US counterpart, Lloyd Austin, his office says.
According to the Israeli readout, Gallant stressed that Israel will win this war against Hamas and expresses appreciation to the US for its vocal support of Israel and its crucial aid.
The US readout says that Austin called Gallant to “express support for the people of Israel and to receive updates on Israel’s operation to restore security and safety from Hamas’ terrorist attack.” He notes the equipment and munitions being sent to Israel, as well as the US moving warships closer to Israel “boost regional deterrence.”
