Defense Minister Yoav Galant will meet with his American counterpart, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in Washington.
Gallant accepted the Secretary of Defense's invitation and will leave in October for an official visit. During their meeting, the two will discuss ways to strengthen the special security ties between Israel and the United States, and will discuss the various security challenges and political opportunities in the Middle East.
Naturally, the issue of normalization with Saudi Arabia will be on the agenda, as will the Iranian threat. Austin and Gallant held a meeting about 3 months ago, but it did not take place in the US, due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's instruction to government ministers not to meet with representatives of the US administration until a meeting was held between him and President Biden.
