Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi will take off on Saturday for his second and final visit to the United States as IDF Chief of Staff, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.

Report informs via foreign media that this is the latest in a string of efforts to strengthen security ties between the United States and Israel. Earlier in November, the commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla made his fourth visit to Israel since January 2022.

During his visit, Kohavi will be meeting with high-level US security officials to discuss security challenges in the Middle East, particularly the threat currently posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
