McCain: U.S.-Israel alliance is “forever”
At an American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says that the state of Israel is a “singular achievement” as a great democracy of the Middle East, and that critics of the U.S.-Israeli alliance perhaps “do not fully understand the love of liberty and the pursuit of justice.” He said they should know, however, that “those ties will not be broken,” because the two nations were brought together by “shared ideals and shared adversity.” He said that the U.S. and Israel “are the most natural of allies and trusted partners in the quest for peace,” and like Israel itself, “that alliance is forever.” (0:54)
