Israeli Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir met with senior military commanders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Egypt at a high-level security conference held in Germany last week. The rare gathering was initiated and hosted by the commander of U.S. Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, under strict secrecy.

The meeting provided a unique opportunity for leaders from countries without official relations with Israel to exchange assessments and views on the regional military landscape. The conference took place amid escalating security tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning the Houthi rebels' expanding control in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and ongoing friction with Tehran around the Strait of Hormuz.

All participating nations chose not to release any official statements regarding the closed-door summit, highlighting the sensitive nature of the discussions. The focus of regional concern includes the Houthi advances and security challenges in key maritime passages.
