Netanyahu meets with Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee head
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met this evening with Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Gabi Ashkenazi amid the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip, the latter’s Blue and White party says.
The meeting was held at the Israel Defense Forces headquarters in Tel Aviv and also attended by Brig. Gen. Avi Blot, the premier’s military secretary, according to Blue and White.
Netanyahu met earlier today with Blue and White MK Benny Gantz to discuss the situation in Gaza. Gantz is currently trying to form a government after Netanyahu failed to do so following elections in September.
