Gallant briefed Healey on the preemptive strike in Lebanon this morning, and on the thwarted Hezbollah attack, the readout states. The two also discussed the importance of cooperation between Israel and the UK in ensuring Israel’s security and regional stability.

The readout adds that the two discussed the ongoing hostage release-ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, and Gallant expressed his appreciation to Healey for the UK’s defense cooperation and for his “personal leadership and commitment to Israel’s security.”
