Eyal Zamir held talks in Washington over the weekend with American officials, focusing on Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The chief of staff flew to the United States on Thursday night and returned to Israel early Sunday morning. Traveling with Zamir were Maj. Gen. Hidai Zilberman, head of the IDF Planning Division and until recently the Israeli military defense attach\u00e9 in Washington; Col. M., head of the IDF Operations Branch; Brig. Gen. Omer Tishler, the incoming Israeli Air Force commander, and Brig. Gen. Amit Adler, head of the IDF Strategic Communications Division.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Zamir met with Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, and discussed with him and his team operational options and their implications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">As of now, Israeli officials cannot say whether the United States will actually strike Iran, and what the nature of the attack would be if it happens. The chief of staff presented Israel\u2019s position to his counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Notably, IDF Military Intelligence Directorate head Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder also visited the United States last week. Additionally,&nbsp;the commander of&nbsp;U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Adm. Brad Cooper,&nbsp;visited Israel on Jan. 24.<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">During the visit, Cooper and Zamir held an extended meeting, during which they discussed security and strategic issues. Afterward, another meeting was held with senior officials from both militaries to discuss ongoing defense cooperation between Israel and the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Meanwhile, a report in&nbsp;<em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>&nbsp;claimed on Sunday that American forces are still not ready to deliver the type of blow that Trump requested, partly due to a shortage of air defense systems for Washington\u2019s allies in the region, including Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Originally published in&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.israelhayom.com\/2026\/02\/01\/idf-chief-holds-urgent-iran-talks-washington\/\">Israel Hayom<\/a><\/em><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.israelhayom.com\/2026\/02\/01\/idf-chief-holds-urgent-iran-talks-washington\/\">.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDF chief holds talks in DC as US weighs Iran strikes Lilach Shoval Lt.
