The course of the continued fighting in Gaza and Lebanon, in the wake of the White House decision to halt some weapons shipments, will be determined during “fateful” war cabinet and security cabinet meetings this evening, the Israel Hayom daily reports, citing an unnamed Israeli official.
The official says that during a Sunday phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, the premier said Israel would “fight tooth and nail if it has to.”
“And he meant it,” stresses the official.
