(British Embassy-Israel) UK Defense Secretary Liam Fox told the Herzliya Conference in Israel on Feb. 6: "Israel is a key partner in the fight against international terrorism, alongside our allies and friends in the region, and we should assist each other to further develop intelligence and counter-terrorism capabilities." "We enjoy a strong bilateral defense relationship with Israel. This is a relationship that thankfully is growing and maturing. It is a relationship that enables our operations and in some cases keeps British troops alive in Afghanistan. And this is a relationship that is greatly valued in the UK and I want to thank you all very much for it."
