During a recent meeting at Israel's defense headquarters, the Kirya in Tel Aviv, Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz highlighted the urgent need to dismantle Hamas in Rafah. The meeting, which took place on Wednesday, included discussions with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Gantz's office released a statement indicating that he updated Haley on the ongoing war efforts, with a specific focus on the imperative of addressing the Hamas presence in Rafah. The minister emphasized the significant threat posed by Iran and its proxies to local, regional, and global security and prosperity.
Another meeting held on the same day involved Haley and Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant. Gallant underscored the importance of maintaining strong ties between the United States and Israel in the face of shared adversaries, particularly Iran.
Expressing gratitude for Haley's unwavering support, Gallant acknowledged her leadership and friendship toward Israel. The discussions between Haley and Israeli officials shed light on the collaborative efforts to address security challenges in the region.
However, Haley's visit to Israel faced criticism following a controversial incident where she was photographed autographing Israeli rockets intended for Gaza. The rockets bore the slogan 'Finish Them,' sparking backlash and debate online.
