Speaking at the opening of the weekly Likud faction meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel’s ties with the US will remain strong no matter the outcome of the election, echoing comments he amde at the cabinet meeting a day earlier.
“Whatever the result, the relationship between Israel and the US with will remain strong and steadfast,” he says.
Stressing that the relationship is based on both “joint values” and “joint interests” Netanyahu says the US public views Israel and its strongest ally.
“A recent Gallup poll showed that the US support for Israel gets stronger stronger ever year,” he says. “I’ll repeat what I said in the Congress last year: Israel has no better friend than the US and the US has not better friend that Israel.”
Minutes earlier, opposition head Isaac Herzog warned Netanyahu to make sure none of his allies in Israel or the US meddle in the election.
