Report: Gallant meets US officials in NY as Netanyahu bars high-level meetings in DC
Channel 12 news reports that the prime minister continues to bar his ministers from high-level meetings in Washington DC so long as he does not get his meeting with US President Joe Biden.
For this reason, the network says, administration officials have come to New York to meet Defense Minister Yoav Gallant there in recent days. Among these are the US ambassador to the UN, Biden’s Middle East adviser Brett McGurk and Blinken’s Middle East adviser Barbara Leaf.
The report says during their meeting yesterday, US envoy Thomas-Greenfield asked Gallant about the state of anti-government protests and IDF readiness and noted the imperative to maintain Israeli democracy.
