Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a strong warning to Hamas during his visit to the United States, stating that the militant group must accept the ceasefire and prisoner exchange proposal or face the consequences. Gallant emphasized that Israel stands firmly behind the President’s deal and expects Hamas to do the same.
During a meeting with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivant at the White House, Gallant clarified that Israel’s conflict is with Hamas, Hezbollah, and their supporter, the Iranian regime, rather than the people of Gaza or Lebanon. He highlighted the enduring bond between Israel and the United States, praising Washington’s unwavering support during the recent aggression against the Gaza Strip.
Despite potential disagreements, Gallant emphasized the unity between the two nations and likened it to a family that resolves conflicts internally. His remarks reflect the close relationship between Israel and the US in addressing security challenges in the region.
