Israeli Defense Minister Tells Jake Sullivan Gaza Onslaught Will Last ‘More Than Several Months’
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday told US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in televised remarks that Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza will continue for “more than several months.”
Sullivan traveled to Israel to discuss the “timetable” of the war, and there are signs that the Biden administration wants Israel to wrap things up more quickly, but the Israelis have shown no interest in taking the US advice.
“Hamas is a terrorist organization that built itself over a decade to fight Israel, and they built infrastructure under the ground and above the ground, and it is not easy to destroy them,” Gallant told Sullivan before a closed-door meeting.
