US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will visit Israel tomorrow and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the country reels from a devastating onslaught by Hamas terrorists that left more than 1,300 dead, an American defense official says.
Austin’s trip — which follows a visit to Israel by Secretary of State Antony Blinken — will also include meetings with defense officials and Israel’s new emergency government, the US official says.
