Trump's pick for national security adviser will meet with Israeli official today, source says
Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer will meet on Wednesday with Florida Republican Rep. Mike Waltz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for national security adviser, according to a source familiar with the meeting.
The meeting will take place in Washington, DC, the source said. Axios first reported the meeting.
The two are likely to discuss Gaza hostage release efforts. On Monday, Trump warned that there would be “ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East” if the hostages being held in Gaza aren’t released before he is sworn in as president in January.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for the “strong statement,” saying it “adds another force to our continuing effort to release all the hostages.”
Dermer met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the State Department on Monday.
