Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will meet, on Tuesday evening, with US Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Lev, in New York, to discuss several common issues.

Lev had finished meeting in Jordan a few days ago with Palestinian and Jordanian officials against the backdrop of developments in political and security issues.

Senior Adviser to the US President for Middle East Affairs Brett McGurk will participate in the meeting.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, this type of meeting with these personalities is not included in the ban imposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his ministers from any meeting with American officials until his expected invitation next month to the White House.
