IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi is heading to Singapore to attend the country’s annual airshow, the Israel Defense Forces says.
According to the military, Kohavi will also conduct security meetings with defense officials while he is there.
In his absence, Deputy Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi will carry out the military chief’s responsibilities in Israel, the IDF says.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz held a secret five-day meeting in Singapore in October.
