. >> israel's defense minister who just returned from the golan heights, says he will hold iran and its proxies responsible not only for the bus bombing, but also should hezbollah get its hands on syria's missiles or chemical weapons. ehud barak reached out to defend panetta about a possible israeli strike on syria's chemical weapon stockpiles. the u.s., we're told, expressed concerns to the israelis, such a move could embolden assad's regime. those discussions are ongoing. >> shep: jennifer griffin in washington, thank you. god's plan. george zimmerman now says he'd like to apologize to the parents of the teen-ager he shot and killed. now trayvon martin's parents are responding absolutely not. the central florida neighborhood watchman sat down for his first interview with sean hannity. zimmerman said he's not race, not a murderer, and that he shot the teen to defend himself. listen. >> he said, you're going to die tonight (bleep) and took one hand off of my mouth and i felt it going down my chest towards my belt, my holster, and that's when i didn't have any more time. >> shep: he said
