Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant departed the US State Department in Washington, DC, on Monday afternoon after a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that lasted over two hours. Gallant did not respond to reporters' inquiries regarding the outcome of the meeting, the temporary halt on heavy bombs, or the controversial video depicting a Palestinian being tied to an Israel Defense Forces vehicle.
Despite the lack of official statements, Gallant's departure was met with persistent protests and vocal demonstrations from onlookers.
