The website said that Corella “has a great influence on Israel, and has visited it more than 15 times over the past two years.”
Corella spoke after the Iranian missile attack on Israel on October 1, with Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and the Israeli army spokesman said at the time that the Israeli and American armies worked together in defense and cooperation, days before, during and after the Iranian attack. The two militaries will also continue to deepen their relationship out of a commitment to enhancing regional stability.
Meanwhile, a senior US State Department official told CNN that Israel has not provided the Biden administration with assurances that it will not attack nuclear facilities in response to the Iranian attack.
He added, “The matter is not on the table. We hope and expect to see some wisdom in addition to strength, but we have no guarantee of that.”
In this regard, the Ynet website quoted American officials as estimating that an Israeli response to Iran is imminent, but “it does not appear that American aircraft will participate in the attack, while there is undoubtedly coordination between Israel and Washington, which is also reflected in Corella’s upcoming visit.”
On October 1, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, the second of its kind in the history of the two countries, targeting military installations of the Israeli army with hypersonic missiles used for the first time.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed that this attack comes in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah.
