McConnell says Trump offers ‘chance for fresh start’ for Israel-US relationship

US majority leader Mitch McConnell tells the annual AIPAC Policy Conference that US President Donald Trump’s administration is a “chance for a fresh start” for the US-Israel relationship.

“The US-Israel relationship was in a terrible state when the new president took office,” McConnell tells the conference plenum.

Saying that Israel “felt abandoned” by the policies of president Barack Obama, McConnell says “today we have the chance for a fresh start.”
