Postponement of Defense Minister Gallant's Visit to the U.S.
October 8, 2024
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's visit to the U.S. has been postponed due to demands from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu insists that Gallant will only travel after he meets with U.S. President Joe Biden. Discussions were expected to focus on security strategies and regional developments, but U.S. officials expressed surprise at the politicization of the visit. The Pentagon expressed a desire to host Gallant at a later date.
