Israel wants to have the supply of the jets and other weapon systems expedited as much as possible, the Israeli official said. The defense secretary told his Israeli counterpart that he needs to bring with him to Washington new policies and new ideas for how to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza that demonstrate Israel is removing any roadblocks for getting aid into Gaza, the officials said.
Gallant discussed with Austin his ideas about the day after the war, particularly possible alternatives to Hamas when it comes to governance in Gaza, a senior Israeli official said.. The new policy doesn't single out Israel, but it came after some Democratic senators expressed concern over the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.
