The United States is a strong and ardent ally of Israel. The fact of the matter is that friends can disagree. I think what's important is that world leaders are able to sit down with one another, have frank conversations and move forward.

I believe that Israel is much stronger than many of its leaders.

Cooperation with the U.S. is the basis on which all Israeli foreign policy is built.

Israel is part of the free world led by the United States, no matter what.

There is an alliance between Israel and the United States, and it has never been stronger than at the time of George W. Bush.

I have seen for the first time in 100 years of conflict, the two peoples - the Israeli people and the Palestinian people - are ahead of their leaderships.

Too often in the past, U.S. leaders have forced Israel to pay the price for American strategic interests in the Middle East - through concessions in the peace process as well as passivity in the face of Iraqi attacks.

The United States provides Israel with crucial security and economic aid and invaluable political backing in the international arena.

The U.S. has a stronger military than Israel, but, but don't short-change Israel, either. Don't short-change them.

Part of what makes America great is that we stand by the countries that share our values around the world. That's why throughout its history, the State of Israel has had no greater friend than the United States of America.
