US Officials in Israel over Hezbollah and Gaza War
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets in his Jerusalem office with US special envoy Amos Hochstein and Middle East czar Brett McGurk.
According to Netanyahu’s office, the prime minister stresses that the most important element of an agreement to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon is not the piece of paper it’s written on, but “Israel’s determination and ability to enforce the agreement and to foil any threat to its security from Lebanon, in a manner that will return residents to their homes safely.”
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer meet with top White House Middle East advisers Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein to discuss “security arrangements as these relate to the northern arena and Lebanon, and efforts to ensure the return of 101 hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza,” says the Defense Ministry.
US Ambassador Jack Lew joins on the American side, as do Israel’s ambassador in Washington Michael Herzog and Gallant’s senior aides.
