WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 2013 – While in Halifax, Nova Scotia
today, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel discussed a series of regional security
issues with Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon on the sidelines of the
Halifax International Security Forum.
Assistant Pentagon Press Secretary Carl Woog issued a
statement after the meeting saying the discussions touched on Iran, the
situation in Egypt, the on-going Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations as well
as the humanitarian impact of the continuing violence in Syria. Both, he said, pledged to continue to
consult closely on the "multitude of challenges facing the United States
and Israel."
Woog said the two also discussed ongoing cooperation to
provide Israel with new, advanced capabilities, including the V-22 Osprey. The meeting was the fourth this year between
Hagel and Ya'alon.
