Obama Pledges ’Unbreakable Alliance’ with Zionism [View all]

Local Editor
US President Barack Obama on Wednesday arrived in the Occupied Territories for the first time as president, vowing an "eternal" alliance with the Jewish entity.

Obama strove for reassurance as he faces skepticism over his strategy for confronting Iran and his personal commitment to the Zionist entity, following sharp public disagreements with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The United States is proud to stand with you as your strongest ally and your greatest friend," Obama said at a lavish welcoming ceremony, shortly after Air Force One rolled to a halt to a peal of military trumpets at Ben Gurion airport.

"Our alliance is eternal, it is forever," Obama declared, arguing America's vital national security interests mandated a strong defense of the Jewish entity, which he said "makes us both stronger."
