War cabinet Minister Benny Gantz has arrived in the US ahead of a series of meetings with high-level officials, his office says.
Tomorrow, Gantz is slated to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris, National Security adviser Jake Sullivan and White House Middle East adviser Brett McGurk.
On Tuesday, he is scheduled to sit down with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. After his trip to DC, Gantz is slated to fly to London and meet with Foreign Secretary David Cameron as well as other officials.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly furious that Gantz is heading to DC without his approval, and is said to have instructed the Israeli embassy in Washington not to facilitate his meetings.
