Gallant, strong relations with the USA but no compromises - Last minute. "Security relations between Israel and the United States are strong and will remain so": Defense Minister Yoav Gallant wrote this on X at the end of a visit to Washington in which he met Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and other leaders.
"For this reason we cannot make compromises on the outcome of the war and we do not have the moral right to stop before we have taken back hostages and brought down Hamas," he said.
