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

The United States and Israel have a unique relationship based on our mutual commitment to democracy, freedom, and peace. Therefore, just as our commitment to these principles must be steadfast, so must our support for Israel.

If America is truly Israel's greatest ally, we should not be asking it to put its citizens and future at risk by forcing the establishment of a hostile Palestinian state as the only option.

It's not only in Israel's interest but in America's as well to stand with one of its closest and important allies.

Not only must Americans admire Israel, there can be no doubt that we have an interest in, and special responsibility for, that valiant nation.

There's no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.

Israel can't make peace without the clear support of the United States.

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.

America has some capabilities that Israel doesn't have. And Israel cannot place their security in the hands of Barack Obama; they can't do it.
