I have often supported Israel, I have often visited the country and want the country to exist and at last find peace with its neighbours.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I support Israel. And I have long supported a two-state solution and a democratic and secure state for the Jewish people, with a democratic and viable Palestinian state side-by-side in peace and dignity.
My goal is always to keep support for Israel a bi-partisan issue and never make a national election any kind of referendum on Israel.
I've been involved in ties with elements in the Arab world for years now. They wish to establish relations with Israel, but they cannot do so while there is no peace process.
I've always been supportive of the right of Israel as a state, and I've always fought against anti-Semitism, even in my own community.
There are many Israelis who live abroad and love the country.
Since Israel is a democratic state surrounded by essentially undemocratic states which have sworn her destruction, those interested in democracy everywhere must support Israel's existence.
I have been, and will remain, outspoken in my insistence that Israel has a right to live in peace and security.
My constituents support Israel.
And Israel, being a tiny, small country, of course has interest to strengthen - we have interest to strengthen our relations with other countries, mostly countries that were hostile for many, many years.
I'm a supporter of Israel, always have been.
