Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is heading to Washington on Sunday, at a time of increasingly strained relations with its main military backer and ally, as Israel continues to defy U.S. calls to reduce the suffering in Gaza.
Gallant is set to meet with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan and other senior officials, the Israeli government said in a statement.
