In a joint statement alongside visiting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hails a recent measure marking Israel’s 75th anniversary that was approved by an overwhelming majority of US representatives.

“To get 95 percent agreement on anything today is no mean matter and I think it expresses the strength of that alliance and the strength of that support,” the premier says.

McCarthy says Israel-US ties have “grown each and every year” since the Jewish state’s establishment in 1948.

“I look to the next 75 years,” he tells Netanyahu.

McCarthy adds: “The world is better when America and Israel are tighter. The world is safer.”
