Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Speaking to ABC News, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says that Israel “conveyed our thoughts” to the Donald Trump administration about US officials holding direct talks with Hamas last week.
He says that Israel is still open to achieving its war aims in Gaza through negotiations.
“If we can achieve our goals in political means, okay, very good,” he says.
“But if we will not be able to do that, we will have to resume our military activity.”
