Israel's Yoav Gallant to join NATO conference call on Thursday

 Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is expected to take part in a meeting of NATO defense ministers via videoconference on Thursday, a Western official said.

The meeting in Brussels was previously scheduled to address issues including the war in Ukraine and NATO missions in Kosovo and Iraq but a session with Gallant was added following Hamas' large-scale attack on Israel on Saturday, the official said on Tuesday.
