Tel Aviv [Israel], March 4 (ANI/TPS): Israel Defence Minister Israel Katz spoke with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom he thanked, for President Trump's support for accelerating shipments of weapons and security equipment to Israel, and for his commitment to the 'strong alliance between the countries.'
