President Isaac Herzog proclaims that the US-Israel relationship is “unbreakable” as reports emerge of severe White House dissatisfaction with the current government.
“In just a few days, I will pay an important visit to the United States, to mark 75 years of Israeli independence, and 75 years of our solid alliance, which lies above and beyond any and all disagreements,” says Herzog at a gathering of the IDF 7th Armored Brigade.
“The alliance between Israel and the United States is unbreakable and irreplaceable. Just like Israeli democracy — which is also unbreakable and irreplaceable. It has always been and will always be.”
In a widely shared New York Times column, Tom Friedman claims that Biden will be forced to tell Herzog during his visit that “when the interests and values of a US government and an Israeli government diverge this much, a reassessment of the relationship is inevitable” — something which Jerusalem and Washington have since denied.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
