Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Delays Gallant’s US Visit Amid Iran Tensions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s planned trip to Washington. The visit, which was set to include a meeting with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, has been postponed as Netanyahu awaits a phone call with President Biden and the Israeli cabinet’s approval of Israel’s response to a recent missile attack from Iran. The Israeli Prime Minister’s decision highlights the growing urgency of addressing security threats. Meanwhile, critics argue that prioritizing national security would involve immediate coordination with international allies.
