Israeli PM, military leaders hold emergency meeting amid possible direct Iranian attack [Video]

Senior Israeli leaders held a meeting Friday amid growing concerns of a possible, direct attack from Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, U.S. CENTCOM Commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla and the Israeli security echelon at the Hatzor Israeli Air Force base, where they discussed the possible attack. 

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.”
