The conversation between the US Defense Minister and the Zionist Minister of War

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in a call with Yoav Gallant, Minister of War of the Zionist regime, raised the need for an alternative investigation for a major ground attack in Rafah.

According to al-Quds al-Arabi report, Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said in a statement that Austin also emphasized the common goal of defeating Hamas. The two sides also discussed the need to do more to protect civilians and urgently increase the flow of aid to Gaza through land crossings, the US official claimed.

Austin looks forward to hosting Gallant at the Pentagon next week for a bilateral meeting to continue those talks, the statement said. Meanwhile, two days ago, the US State Department announced that based on what was discussed in the call between Biden and Netanyahu, a Zionist delegation will travel to Washington next week.

In this regard, the US Ministry of Defense, which has taken the mask of opposition to the extensive ground attacks of the Zionist regime in Rafah, claimed that Washington will not support any ground operations in Rafah without having a practical and workable plan.
