The US seeks to expand intelligence sharing with Israel, providing information on the possible whereabouts of hostages.
CIA Director William Burns arrives in Israel to negotiate with Israeli intelligence officials. The New York Times reported this on Sunday, November 5, citing US officials.
The United States plans to provide information that could help find the hostages or prevent further attacks by Hamas.
“The United States is trying to push Israel to take a more targeted approach to attacks on Hamas, stop fighting to bring aid to the Gaza Strip and reduce the number of civilian casualties,” the newspaper reported. .
The CIA director’s exact itinerary is unknown, but he is expected to visit Jordan.
“Burns and King Abdullah have a long and close relationship. Burns was the US ambassador to Jordan when King Hussein died and Abdullah ascended the throne. King Abdullah recently wrote a letter praising his diplomatic skills by Burns,” the publication emphasizes.
We remind you that on October 7, militants of the Palestinian Hamas movement attacked Israel and launched a massive rocket attack. This invasion was accompanied by massacres of civilians. More than 1,400 deaths are known in Israel.
Israel officially declared a state of war, mobilized 300 thousand reservists and began destroying military installations, as well as Hamas leaders. The death toll in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli airstrikes has exceeded 9,000.
