National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, while speaking in Tel Aviv following his meeting with Israeli leaders, reiterated the United States' continued commitment to supporting Israel in its fight against the terror group, Hamas. Sullivan was in the region to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Herzog, and several senior officials to discuss both current and future counter-terrorism military operations.
Sullivan indicated that his conversations focused on the 'ongoing war and military operations' and the shared objective of 'ensuring that Hamas will never again pose a threat to the state of Israel.' Emphasis was also placed on minimizing harm to civilians, increasing humanitarian assistance flow into Gaza, and securing the release of all remaining hostages.
