In a recent series of crucial meetings, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan held discussions with both Israeli leaders and Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority. This follows the October 7th terror attack that sparked off the current conflict, with Israel seeking to dismantle the Hamas network.
Sullivan's dialogue with the Israeli government was to, reportedly, get a status update on the war and ascertain its trajectory. The U.S. authorities have exhibited concerns about the humanitarian crisis and civilian casualty rate due to Israel's military operations. The primary query from the US side pertained to the duration of this intense phase of military incursion.
