(CNN) Jill Dougherty - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dismisses the view that relations between the U.S. and Israel are in crisis.

We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel and between the American and Israeli people." She said U.S. and Israeli officials are in intense talks "over steps that we think would demonstrate the requisite commitment to this [peace] process." "Our goal now is to make sure that we have the full commitment from both our Palestinian and Israeli partners to this effort."
