Israeli Defense Minister Cancels Plans to Meet in Washington, D.C., with Pentagon Chief
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has canceled plans to travel to
Washington, D.C., to meet with his U.S. counterpart, Defense Secretary
Lloyd Austin. Israeli media is reporting Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu blocked Gallant's visit because he first wants to speak with
President Biden about Israel's plans to attack Iran, in response to
Iran's missile attack last week.
