White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan reported on a conversation between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He noted that the head of the White House emphasized the importance of Israel for the United States in his address to the nation.

Channel 7 writes about this.
Sullivan noted Israel’s significant progress in the fight against Hamas militants and supported the actions that led to the removal of Marwan Issa. He stressed that these steps are important to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens.
Sullivan expressed concerns about a possible operation in Rafah, pointing to the potential consequences for Israel. The operation could have been a “mistake,” he said, especially without a plan to evacuate civilians and ensure their safety and well-being.
He also voiced his position on negotiations on a deal to free the hostages, expressing confidence in the possibility of reaching an agreement and his intention to continue working in this direction.
Sullivan added that Biden’s priority is not popularity or unpopularity, but results. He indicated the administration’s determination to achieve constructive results in this situation.
