Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, responding to this, urged the U.S. to continue cooperating against “Iran and its proxies” during a visit to the Pentagon on Tuesday.
Gallant remarked, “The President, the Administration, and you, Mr. Secretary, have been with us since day one,” according to a statement issued by his office following the meeting. “This includes working together to defend Israel, against a massive attack, by Iran and its proxies.”
We are reaching a turning point that will affect the Middle East as a whole.
I’m here to talk about how to accomplish our shared objectives, which are to demonstrate the strong ties that exist between our two nations and to ensure the security of the State of Israel.”
Last week, Israeli officials claimed that Israel and Hezbollah were on the “brink” of a full-scale conflict. An IDF spokesperson attributed the two forces’ extreme situation to “Hezbollah’s aggression.”
