Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has said his country has the ability to “attack anywhere”.

He visited the Nevatim Airbase where we met with fighter pilots from the Israeli military, Al Jazeera reported.

“The [Israeli army]’s ability to attack anywhere and at any distance gives it the ability to make decisions, even if there is a risk in them and provided that the reason is appropriate,” Gallant said on X.

The comments from Gallant come as ceasefire talks are expected to resume in Cairo in the coming days after two days of negotiations in Doha this week.
