At the end of the meeting, Gantz told Milley: "We will act in partnership in the face of any scenario on the Iranian front. We will work together to address our common threats in order to maintain stability in the Middle East together with our allies."

Gantz also stressed the importance of maintaining US pressure on the Iranian regime, and the IDF's readiness to address any regional aggression and Iran's attempts to secure nuclear weapons.

Gantz also thanked Milley for the US's commitment to Israel's security and welcomed the close cooperation between the IDF and the US military, which he said protected the two countries' interests and those of their allies in the region.

Gantz told Milley that the presence of US forces in the Middle East was an important component to regional stability.
