Military commanders from the United States, Israel and several Arab countries convened in Germany last week for talks organized by U.S. Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper, Israeli officials told Axios. The discussions centered on the conflict with Iran.

The report described eight militaries as attending but listed nine countries: the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt.

A CENTCOM source later confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that the command hosted senior military leaders at a closed conference in Germany, where discussions focused on strengthening security cooperation in the Middle East.
