Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the outgoing commander of the US Central Command, which oversees American military forces in the region.
According to Bennett’s office, the two discuss “common security challenges facing Israel and the United States, and above all Iran’s aggression in the region.”
“The Prime Minister also stressed the real danger of the [world] powers signing the nuclear agreement [with Iran], if and when it occurs,” the statement says.
Bennett thanks McKenzie for his “contribution to strengthening security and stability in the region, as well as for the significant cooperation between the State of Israel and the United States during his tenure.”
Earlier, McKenzie met with President Isaac Herzog and Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
He is expected to retire from the US military in the coming months, and will succeeded by Lt. Gen. Michael Kurilla, who currently serves as commander of the US Army 18th Airborne Corps.
