Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (pictured) and his Italian counterpart Guido Crosetto held talks on Monday to discuss security issues that keep the Middle East on edge, especially between the Israeli and Iranian governments.
Gallant confirmed he updated Crosetto on "security developments and threats posed by Iran and its proxies" while exchanging information on the Israeli Defense Forces' "readiness." At the same time, he called international allies to back his country "at this time" of tensions. "Thank you Minister, for your solidarity, leadership, and firm stance regarding the Iranian issue," Gallant added.
Earlier, it was known that the Egyptian government told Israeli officials that they would not support them in military terms in case in case Iran decided to perform a retaliatory attack.
