Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's confidant Ron Dermer met President-elect Trump in Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, according to two Israeli officials and two U.S. officials with knowledge of the meeting.

Why it matters: An Israeli official said the meeting was aimed at passing messages from Netanyahu to Trump and briefing the President-elect on Israel's plans in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran for the next two months before Trump takes office.

"One of the things the Israelis wanted to sort out with Trump is what are the issues he prefers to see solved before January 20 and what are the issues he prefers the Israelis to wait for him," a U.S. official said.
The U.S. officials mentioned the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire efforts, the plan for Gaza after the war ends and Israeli-Saudi normalization efforts as issues the Israelis want to take Trump's pulse on.
Dermer also met with Jared Kushner, a source with knowledge of the meeting said.
Trump's spokesperson, Dermer and the Israeli Prime Minister's Office didn't respond to questions about the meeting.
U.S. officials said Netanyahu notified the Biden administration in advance about Dermer's meeting with Trump.
Flashback: Dermer, who is Netanyahu's Minister of Strategic Affairs, and Trump worked together during the first Trump administration when Dermer was the Israeli ambassador to Washington.

Driving the news: After his meetings in Mar-a-Lago, Dermer arrived in Washington on Monday to meet with senior Biden administration officials.

He met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and he is expected to meet with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Biden's advisers Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein.
State of play: Dermer discussed with Blinken the U.S. ultimatum for Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza by Nov. 13.

If it determines Israel has not taken sufficient steps to improve the humanitarian situation, the Biden administration could suspend arms supplies to Israel, in accordance with U.S. law.
The Israeli security cabinet approved on Sunday night several steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza and increase the number of aid trucks coming in, Israeli officials said.
But, Israeli officials admit they won't be able to meet the U.S. demand that at least 350 aid trucks be able to enter Gaza daily.
U.S. officials say Israel has made significant progress but still has work to do on most U.S. demands.

US Navy destroyers unscathed after fighting off a complex attack of cruise and ballistic missiles and exploding drones​

The Navy repelled multiple Houthi attacks involving at least three anti-ship cruise missiles, five anti-ship ballistic missiles, and eight one-way attack drones, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters at a press briefing Tuesday. Ryder said that the attacks were "successfully engaged and defeated. The vessels were not damaged; no personnel were hurt."

Earlier, the Houthis said they attacked the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea and two unnamed American destroyers in the Red Sea. The Iran-backed rebels said that they achieved their objectives.

Ryder said he was unaware of any attack on the Lincoln.
 
IDF Tweeted:
Muhammad Musa Salah, Ayman Muhammad Nabulsi and Hajj Ali Yussef Salah—Hezbollah’s Field Commanders of Khiam, Tebnit and Ghajar were eliminated in two separate strikes. 💥☠️

These terrorists directed many terror attacks against Israelis, and were responsible for the launches of more than 2,500 projectiles toward the areas of the Golan Heights, the Upper Galilee, the Galilee Panhandle, and toward IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon.

This further degrades Hezbollah's capability to carry out terror attacks from southern Lebanon against Israeli civilians on the northern border..

The United States military has again carried out air strikes in Syria targeting “Iranian-aligned targets” following a recent rocket attack against US forces at a base in Syria’s northeastern Hasakah province.
US Central Command (CENTCOM), which is responsible for US forces deployed in the Middle East, did not specify on Wednesday how many air strikes were conducted – or who the targets were – stating only that the Iranian-aligned “group’s weapons storage and logistics headquarters” were hit.
