Defense Minister Yoav Gallant achieved significant progress this week, during his visit to Washington, on the entry of a multinational force in the Gaza Strip that will consist of armed elements that will come from three Arab countries in the region.

Gallant updated the Prime Minister, the War Cabinet and the Chief of Staff on the progress - and intends to continue actions to promote the project.
