Israeli Ministry of Defense Statement
The Israeli Ministry of Defense made a statement about the telephone conversation between Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. It was reported that during this meeting, the two leaders discussed in detail the efforts to release Israeli prisoners in Gaza.
Gallant argued that the Houthis in Yemen “pose a regional threat” and emphasized that this situation threatens the security in the region. He also stated that Hezbollah’s relations with Hamas are gradually deepening in the northern regions where conflicts continue, and in this context, the possibility of the agreement framework reached with Hezbollah is decreasing.
Following the start of Israel’s attacks on Gaza, it has been observed that, as of October 8, 2023, mutual conflicts have continued between various groups in Lebanon, especially Hezbollah, and the Israeli army, over the border line known as the “Blue Line” “.
