Local Editor

US General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, is scheduled to arrive in the Zionist entity on Monday for a key visit to discuss regional security issues.

Dempsey will then travel to Jordan, where the US has kept military forces - including an F-16 squadron.

According to "Israeli" reports, Dempsey will discuss in "potential threats from Iran, the ongoing civil war in Syria, and uncertainty in the Sinai," the Pentagon said.
In Jordan, Dempsey will visit American troops stationed in the kingdom, "to gain a richer understanding of how the conflict in Syria is affecting Jordan and the region."

Dempsey has signaled his reservations to American military intervention in Syria, citing unintended consequences, high costs, and a lack of an end-game in the country.
Last week, Gen. Mark A. Welsh, chief of staff of the US Air Force, paid a four-day visit to Tel Aviv, during which met with senior "Israeli" army officers, including the chief of staff and the commander of the "Israel" Air Force.

They discussed "joint security challenges in light of the security situation in the region, and strengthening the unprecedented cooperation between the forces," the "Israeli" army said.
"The US military and the "Israeli" army share strong strategic ties based on joint values and excellence," it added.
