President Isaac Herzog hosts a reception in Jerusalem for chiefs of staff and senior officials from 18 foreign militaries.
Those in attendance include US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley as well as the heads of the militaries in Morocco, Greece, Cyprus, Poland and the Czech Repubic.
Senior generals also joined from NATO, the United Arab Emirates and the UK. The officials are in Israel to take part in an IDF conference on military innovation.
“There is a famous saying: ‘He who seeks peace, must prepare for war,’” Herzog tells the generals. “In order to prepare for war, and therefore in order to seek peace and achieve it, we need the best armies possible. We really pray and hope there will be peace, and that is why we are so happy that we have neighbors from our region and Arab countries here.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
