Danon: Israel Has Real Friends in the U.S-
(Jerusalem Post) Danielle Ziri - "We have real friends here [in the U.S.] and I'm sure it will be the same in the White House," Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon told the Jerusalem Post on Thursday. "It doesn't mean we will agree about everything all the time, I don't think that will be the case, but I'm sure we will know how to work together. Being in the UN I see the commitment of the U.S. to support Israel. In all of our achievements at the UN, we are here because of the support from the U.S." Danon said that both presidential candidates were supportive of Israel. It is important for the next president to know that "in order to promote any [peace] process in the Middle East, you need to actually have both sides sitting down to negotiate, and you cannot impose an international agreement. Some here at the UN think they can or should bring a resolution and impose parameters. We know it's not constructive."
