Israel is a "client state" of the United States and should understand "it must be dependent upon a great power," U.S. News & World Report editor Mort Zuckerman said on Shalom TV. Zuckerman, a long-time supported of Israel who two weeks ago headlined Palestinian Authority (PA) incitement in his magazine, asserted that Israel must work to maintain the friendship of the American government.
He added that Israel's cooperating with Bush's Annapolis peace initiative is a price that Israel must pay for the friendship. "Israel has to do it for the United States," he asserted. However, he said he is pessimistic about any success in the peace initiative.
