IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir recently hosted U.S. Central Command Commander Admiral Brad Cooper and asserted that "the axis of terror is beginning to crumble." In a discussion on military cooperation between the two armies, during which they coordinated the next stages of the war, the IDF chief pledged that "we will continue to strike at it until we achieve our goals." Zamir added that "there is a shared interest here - a commitment to remove an existential threat from Israel and from the entire region. These are historic days, carefully planned. We will not stop - and in the coming period we will deepen our achievements and continue operations to weaken the Iranian regime."
