US reaffirms commitment to Israel's security

US Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work met with senior Israeli officials during a three-day visit that ended on Thursday "to reaffirm the United States’ steadfast commitment to Israel's security," the Pentagon cited spokeswoman for Work as saying.

Work visited Tel Aviv and Al Quds to meet with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and the director-general of the Israeli Defense Ministry, Dan Harel, a statement summarizing the visit said.

"Their discussions focused on shared national security interests, regional security trends and ways to further strengthen Israel's qualitative military edge," it said.

During the visit, Work observed several demonstrations highlighting ways both countries can use technology to confront threats.

"He also explored ways to continue to deepen cooperation on defense technology and infrastructure," the statement added.
