Israeli PM, military leaders hold emergency meeting amid possible direct Iranian attack
Fox News
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and other security officials are meeting Friday to discuss a possible attack from Iran.
The meeting came just days after Iran’s supreme leader threatened to launch a direct assault on the U.S. ally and as Iran and Israel have traded verbal barbs this week over a possible attack and subsequent retaliation.
"We discussed the close cooperation between the United States and Israel, between our defense establishments and our miliaries," Gallant said after the meeting. "Our enemies think that they can pull apart Israel and the United States, but the opposite is true, they are bringing us together and strengthening our ties. We stand shoulder to shoulder."
