"I would like to thank General Kurilla for having me. Israel's cooperation with CENTCOM and regional countries is a game changer in our ability to maintain security, stability and peace in the Middle East," Gantz expressed, stressing that the cooperation is targeting Iran and "its proxies".
Gantz continued: "We will continue to deepen our cooperation, expand the actions required to target Iranian proxies and ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. We all understand the need to make sure Iran never has a nuclear umbrella under which it can spread terrorism and threaten the world and the Middle East."
