Discussion on Israel's Military Capability and Willingness

I just finished a conversation here with the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth,

and he told me something interesting.

He told me," We look at the world, and there are countries that have the will to

fight alongside the United States, but they don't have

the capability. And there are countries that

have the capability, but they don't have the will." He says," Only in Israel do we

see both the will and the capability.

And what appreciation they have

both for the people of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces."
