Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.

So I think we should stay focused on the real problem in the Middle East. It's not Israel. It's these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping Israel away.

To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.

Israel has, enjoys bipartisan support - both Democrats and Republicans - and we extend bipartisan hospitality to both Democrats and Republicans.

The application of military force, or the prospect of such application, inhibits terrorist violence.

The real reason we haven't had peace is because of a persistent refusal of the Palestinians to recognize a Jewish state in any border.

I don't want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that circumstances have to change.
