Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with United States CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla, who is visiting Israel amid heightened tensions.
In a meeting also attended by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the three discussed "the coordination of defense cooperation between the respective establishments and militaries."
"They also discussed ways to expand the international coalition facing aggressive activities by Iran and its proxies against Israel, and destabilizing the Middle East region," the Defense Ministry says.
