IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke yesterday with the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, and the new chief of CENTCOM, Adm. Brad Cooper, the Israeli military says.

“During the conversations, they discussed the strategic situation across the various arenas and emphasized the importance of cooperation between the United States Armed Forces and the IDF,” the statement says.

Zamir also congratulated Cooper on entering the role.

“The IDF will continue to strengthen its ties with the United States Armed Forces out of a commitment to reinforcing regional stability and enhancing coordination between the militaries,” the military adds.
