Obama rebuffs critics on his attitudes toward Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“Even my critics will acknowledge that the military cooperation and intelligence cooperation, when it comes to Iron Dome […] I have been there, for Israel,” says Obama in his interview with Channel 2.
Why do Israelis fail to recognize his support of the country? “There are a lot of filters between me and the Israelis,” he says. Israelis are “not receiving” the president’s messages directly from him.
Obama emphasizes that his commitment to Israel’s security is solid: “It’s a solemn commitment that I’ve made… It’s not conditioned on any policy.”
