US, Israeli army chiefs speak
Defense Minister Gantz departed last night to Washington to meet US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Before leaving, Gantz said that he will be discussing key issues pertaining to Israel’s security in the coming years. No further details were provided.
Gantz is scheduled to visit Washington for just 10 hours before immediately returning to Israel, as security tensions rise on several fronts. Prior to his trip, Gantz and Netanyahu discussed undisclosed security issues.
Meanwhile, IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi spoke via video conference with his counterpart General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The two discussed “current security issues in the Middle East,” the IDF said without elaborating.
