Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized to White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan that the war against Hamas will be a prolonged effort, lasting “more than several months.”
The two countries discussed operational developments in Gaza and the northern border with Lebanon, along with the need to enable Israeli citizens to return to their homes in the north.
Gallant expressed gratitude for the U.S. support in countering naval threats and dismantling the Hamas terrorist organization. (Trending: Kid Rock Rages Against ‘Woke’ Target)
“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 said.
“It will require a long period of time — it will last more than several months, but we will win and we will destroy them [Hamas].”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underscored the goal of eliminating Hamas, while Sullivan urged Israel to be more precise in its targeting of Hamas in Gaza.
“Mr. Sullivan, thank you for coming to Israel during this period of war — we appreciate it very much. We appreciate your personal commitment to the State of Israel — to releasing the hostages, and to the diplomatic effort [you are leading] and your support in the military channel. Thank you,” Gallant said to Sullivan.
“The United States and Israel share common interests, common values and in this war, we [also] share common goals.”
“This is important to the State of Israel and it is essential to the rest of the region, to the Middle East.”
“It is not easy to take a democracy into war, but once we are in the war, we will prevail because we are fighting for the right issues and for the right values.”
“Thank you for standing side by side with us.”
“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.”
“It will require a long period of time — it will last more than several months, but we will win and we will destroy them [Hamas]. So thank you once again for coming to Israel, for helping us and for supporting us, and I look forward to our meeting.”
Additionally, the U.S. reiterated its support for Israel’s war effort to ensure safety and security.
