This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former national security adviser Robert O’Brien said Monday that he and two other Trump administration foreign policy officials have met with top Israeli government officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival, Benny Gantz, during a three-day visit to Israel.
He said one reason for the trip was to check in on the status of the Abraham Accords — a series of historic agreements signed in 2020 normalizing ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
O’Brien said he, Rakolta and McMullen met Sunday with Gantz, one of the three members of Israel’s war Cabinet, and Netanyahu on Monday.
Monday’s discussions with Netanyahu, O’Brien said, included the International Criminal Court’s announcement that it’s seeking arrest warrants for him, as well as the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar.
He also criticized the Biden administration’s decision to pause a shipment of military aid to Israel, calling it a “betrayal" and adding that he didn’t discuss the issue with Israeli officials.
The Israeli Embassy in Washington didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night on the visit.
