Commander of United States Central Command (CENTCOM) Admiral Brad Cooper addressed senior officers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a closed-door meeting. In his address, the American military commander emphasized the steadfastness of the United States' allied commitments and expressed high appreciation for joint actions.
Addressing the attendees, Cooper stated that cooperation between the two nations' militaries has achieved results of historic proportions. He added that the phrase "shoulder to shoulder," often used regarding allies, reflects the actual operational reality on the ground in the case of the US and Israel.
"Together we have achieved the unimaginable. Our joint achievement is of historic significance. You are a nation of warriors, and the people sitting here are the leaders of these warriors. I am proud to serve shoulder to shoulder with you. We are deeply and enduringly committed to you," the CENTCOM chief told the Israeli commanders.
In response, IDF Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir thanked Admiral Cooper for the close coordination between the armies of the two states. Zamir called cooperation with the US military "unprecedented" and described it as a "strategic pillar."
