Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed during a lengthy government meeting Friday night that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has assured Israel of the resumption of military supplies halted under the Biden administration.
"This is crucial because, if needed, we will have the tools to return to fighting in case the agreement is breached," Netanyahu said, emphasizing Trump's full backing in the cease-fire agreement with Hamas.
Netanyahu also attributed Hamas' agreement to the hostage deal to Israel’s military pressure and regional actions. "The situation changed due to the bravery of our fighters and our severe blows to the Iranian axis," he said. "Hamas remains isolated and has therefore folded and agreed to this deal."
The meeting, ongoing for nearly six hours, focused on the security and diplomatic ramifications of the potential agreement.
