(Haaretz).Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon declared Monday that Israel's relations with the United States have "never been better", telling delegates to the Herzliya Conference that the allies' ties go well beyond dealing with the Middle East conflict.
"What makes the U.S. special is the fact that it has maintained its good relations with Israel over the years," Ayalon declared in his address on the second day of the annual conference. "Its support is not based on the financial pockets of the Arab states.
Ayalon also told the conference that he believed every party comprising Israel's coalition "wants peace."
"Everyone is waiting for the Palestinians to come to the negotiating table," he said
