Netanyahu Calls Biden a Friend, But Notes Disagreement on Iran
(Forward) Jacob Kornbluh - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News on Thursday: "I've known Joe Biden...for close to 40 years, when I came in as a number two in Israel's embassy in 1982 and he was a young senator from Delaware. So we've known each other and we've had a warm relationship over the years. I think Joe Biden is a friend of Israel, I know he is. I know he is committed to Israel." "Sometimes with the best of friends - in the family, as we say - we can have differences of opinion. The most important thing that I think Joe Biden understands is that my commitment to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons is absolute. And I hope that we see eye-to-eye on everything. But one thing I believe he understands and respects is that as the prime minister of the one and only Jewish state, we are not going to let a bunch of Ayatollahs wipe us out from the face of the earth or from the map of history. So I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and so far, we've been successful."
