"Since the massacre on October 7, Israel has been fighting a war against the multidimensional Iranian threat on seven fronts. We have made many achievements and dramatically weakened those who seek our destruction. The support of the United States during the war highlights the strength and importance of our defense partnership, proving that when we stand together we are stronger."
"Iran and its partners continue to threaten the regional and global stability. The upcoming months present us with challenges that require military readiness and opportunities that allow us to further our strategic goals. I am confident that together we can succeed, creating long-term stability and a better future for the region. Alongside this, Israel and the United States must work together to be at the forefront of the technological, military, and defense industrial base. The continuation of cooperation between our countries is vital to furthering our success and power across the globe."
