U.S., Israeli Defense Chiefs Meet at the Pentagon
(AFP) U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta hosted Israeli counterpart Ehud Barak Thursday in their second Pentagon meeting in as many months as concern grows over Syrian unrest and Iran's nuclear ambitions. The closed-door conversation focused on the "U.S.-Israel defense relationship and mutual regional security defense interests," the Pentagon said in a statement. At the end of their meeting, Panetta and Barak marked Holocaust Memorial Day by lighting candles in remembrance of the six million Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II.
