Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer will meet US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan at the White House to discuss the ongoing war in Gaza and efforts to secure the release of the remaining 136 hostages, a source familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel.

Dermer’s visit comes amid an intensified effort by international mediators to broker a new hostage deal between Israel and Hamas and ahead of another visit to Israel by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The strategic affairs minister — a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — last visited Washington a month ago.
