The Zionist Union’s candidate for defense minister, Amos Yadlin, tells Haaretz that Netanyahu’s AIPAC address, in which he hailed the US-Israel alliance, was an apology for damaging ties.

“The prime minister spoke fantastic English and the audience loved him and loved what he said,” Yadlin says. “But the significance of what he said is that the prime minister is well aware of the damage that he caused to our relations with the administration and that he is perceived here as cooperating with only one political party, and thus hurting the critically important bipartisan support for Israel. In essence, he apologized for these things.”
