U.S.-Israel Bond Runs Deeper than any Disagreement, U.S. Diplomats Say
(Medialine) Keren Setton - "We are the most important friend of Israel and Israel is the most important friend of the United States," U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides said Thursday at the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. "On the fundamental issues, which are security, that's where we agree." His predecessor, Ambassador David Friedman, said, "There is a deep intelligence and military connection, which is rock solid. There is a deep affection, respect, and trust between our two countries in terms of keeping each other safe." He added that knowing about the strong security ties between the two countries "would make everyone feel better....There is nothing in the friction that arises from time to time that presents any real jeopardy to the relationship."
