US President-elect Donald Trump's pick for national security adviser, Mike Waltz, says that Hamas must be destroyed and have no role in postwar Gaza. He also emphasizes that the incoming administration will have a much more supportive relationship with Israel than the Biden administration did. Waltz indicates that Israel is currently in a better strategic position due to ignoring pressure from Washington for restraint. He also states that the US under Trump will not hold back on weapons supplies to Israel. Additionally, Waltz mentions that the US will push for Saudi Arabia to normalize ties with Israel after the war.
