During a briefing on the situation in the region, Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs held a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the necessity for support, which the United States is providing to Israel, stated the representative of the American foreign policy agency, Tami Bruks.
Israel and Hamas began to observe a ceasefire on Sunday, including the exchange of prisoners, after reaching an agreement on the cessation of hostilities in an ongoing conflict between them, which has lasted already for 15 months.
At this time, while the ceasefire operates in the Gaza sector, the new US Secretary of State, Mike Rubin, confirmed the commitment to "sustainable support" for Israel. Meanwhile, military operations by Israel continue in Jenin on the occupied West Bank.
