The new head of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper, paid his first visit to Israel on Saturday since taking office in early August, the Israeli military announced.
According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the visit focused on strengthening operational cooperation between the two armies, maintaining regional stability both near and further afield, and bolstering joint efforts to address challenges and threats across the Middle East.
The trip underscores the close security ties between Washington and Tel Aviv, particularly as both nations coordinate on counterterrorism, missile defense, and evolving regional threats.
