Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, discussed security issues related to Iran and Yemen's Ansar Allah in a confidential meeting with the commanders of the armies of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Egypt in Germany. This meeting, initiated by General Kenneth McKenzie, commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), is recognized as an unprecedented event in military relations between Israel and Arab countries.
Details of the Meeting and Main Topics
This meeting took place last week in Berlin. The main focus of discussions was the war with Iran and developments related to Yemen's Ansar Allah. Two Israeli officials told Axios that this was the first meeting of its kind since the start of the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran over the past six months. Although there have been previous meetings between military commanders of the Israeli regime and Arab countries, this meeting has gained special significance due to the presence of Arab countries that do not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel.

Hebrew sources emphasized that this meeting was an opportunity for direct dialogue and exchange of views among the parties regarding regional security developments.
The presence of military commanders from Arab countries at this meeting indicates changes in military and security relations in the Middle East. Such meetings could strengthen security and military cooperation between Israel and Arab countries, especially as tensions in the region have increased.
