US Ambassador Mike Herzog Affirms Enduring US-Israel Partnership

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Herzog reaffirmed the strong and lasting partnership between Washington and Jerusalem during an event hosted by the Israeli-American Council (IAC) celebrating the 250th anniversary of US independence. Addressing concerns about the future of US-Israel relations, Herzog stated that the two countries will remain partners as long as they exist, emphasizing the unbreakable nature of their alliance. He likened the relationship to a marriage, saying that if they were to separate, neither country could afford the consequences, metaphorically referring to "alimony payments." The ambassador's remarks highlight the deep commitment of the United States to Israel's security and bilateral cooperation.
