Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz met with the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey at a Jerusalem hotel on Sunday.
The three defense officials discussed the various security issues in the Middle East and the cooperation between the two countries.
"We are in the midst of a critical week for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and we appreciate Secretary of State Kerry's efforts and President Obama's commitment and contribution to the effort," Ya'alon said at the end of the meeting. (Yoav Zitun)
