Lloyd Austin spoke with Israel Katz, who recently replaced Yoav Gallant as Israel’s defence minister, and underscored the Biden administration’s “ironclad” support for the US ally, the Pentagon says. “The Secretary reiterated US commitment to a diplomatic arrangement in Lebanon that allows Israeli and Lebanese civilians to return safely to their homes on both sides of the border,” the Pentagon said in a statement. #news #minimarketonlineltd #America #LloydAustin #Israel #Pentagon #lebanon
