The Israeli Occupation Forces’ (IOF) Chief of General Herzi Halevi met with senior generals from several Arab countries in the Bahraini capital of Manama, in a meeting organized by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) – per Axios citing two informed sources.

Halevi met with senior military officials from Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and other countries on Monday as part of an ongoing military cooperation with “Israel” and its neighbors.

General Michel “Erik” Kurilla, the commander of CENTCOM, participated in the meeting – according to Axios.

The meeting wasn’t disclosed due to “regional political sensitivities” regarding the ongoing aggression on Gaza.

The IOF and CENTCOM declined to comment on the reports – according to Hebrew media.
