A senior Israeli journalist reports that since the start of the current operation, the IDF Chief of Staff has been holding direct conversations with his Arab counterparts in the region — another sign of the dramatic reshaping of the Middle East under the leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump.
According to journalist Yaki Admaker, the outreach reflects a new strategic reality in which security coordination between Israel and key Arab states is becoming increasingly open and institutionalized. These contacts reportedly focus on regional stability, shared threats, and preventing escalation across multiple fronts.
The IDF Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, has led the military effort since the launch of the operation, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to emphasize that Israel is acting with full force against its enemies and without seeking approval from any external body. In Washington, President Donald Trump has backed a regional realignment that strengthens cooperation between Israel and pragmatic Arab states against Iran and its terror proxies.
The reported direct dialogue between military chiefs highlights how shared security interests — particularly against Iran and jihadist terror organizations — are accelerating a broader regional transformation that once seemed unthinkable.
