Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets in Tel Aviv with a US delegation headed by Brett McGurk, National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East, and Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu stressed that the IDF operation to “free Shifa Hospital from the control of the Hamas terror group” points to the Israeli determination and ability to completely root out Hamas from every corner of Gaza.
The statement adds that the group discussed a number of topics, with a focus on the issue of freeing the hostages held captive in Gaza.
