Netanyahu: Joint Israeli-US security relations ‘good for peace’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, meet with visiting US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford to discuss bilateral security relations.
“We have a great alliance between Israel and the United States, and a great alliance between the American military and the IDF. We appreciate it and we know that this alliance is good, not only for security but also good for peace,” Netanyahu tells Dunford.
The prime minister adds that he “look[s] forward to welcoming President Trump here very soon.”
Dunford says his “rock-solid” relationship with Eisenkot is representative of US-Israeli ties.
