2026
I am deeply honored to have received
the Legion of Merit this week, awarded by the President of the
United States. Receiving this recognition is a profound privilege
and a defining milestone in my military service.
This award is far more than a personal achievement, it is a testament to the unbreakable bond and strategic partnership between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the United States Armed Forces. Over the past years, and specifically during the "Swords of Iron" war, we have transformed our collaboration with USCYBERCOM into a true operational force multiplier. This award represents years of building trust, deepening our interoperability, and standing united in our commitment to security and stability. The strength of our partnership lies not just in our capabilities, but in our shared values and unwavering mutual commitment.
