Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan that “the results of the war will determine the outcome of the region for years to come,” according to a readout from his office issued after the meeting.
During the meeting at the White House, which lasted an hour and a half, the pair “discussed the steps required to continue defeating Hamas and dismantling its military and governmental capabilities and the efforts to return the hostages,” the Defense Ministry says.
Gallant “stressed to the national security adviser that the manner in which the war in Gaza ends will affect the State of Israel and the entire region for decades to come and will send a clear message,” his office adds.
