According to the plan, Mr. Michael Kurilla will visit Jordan and Israel, of which Jordan is the most important visit, considering the role of this country in repelling the attacks on April 13.
The commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in the Middle East on August 3 and plans to visit Jordan and Israel, amid dangerously escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
According to US officials, General Kurilla's visit to the Middle East was planned before the recent flare-up of tensions between Israel, Iran and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, and he will try to mobilize an international and regional coalition similar to the one that defended Israel against the Iranian attack in mid-April.
He is scheduled to visit Jordan and Israel, with Jordan being the most important visit given the country's role in repelling the April 13 attacks.
On July 31, the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas announced the death of its political leader Ismail Haniyeh in an attack on his residence in Tehran, where he had traveled to attend the inauguration of Iran's new president.

According to information from the White House, in a phone call on the afternoon of August 1, Mr. Biden discussed with Mr. Netanyahu new US military deployments to protect against possible attacks from ballistic missiles and drones.
