Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Defense Minister Yoav Galant,
who was scheduled to meet with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday, not to leave for the US this evening, an Israeli official told CNN. CNN reached out to the Israeli Defense Ministry for comment. Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz criticized the cancellation, saying it "undermined" Israel's security. Gantz said, "A prime minister who makes Israel's security a top priority would send the defense minister, coordinate communications with the defense minister, and make available Wings of Zion aircraft so that he can respond adequately and return to Israel promptly."
