Transportation and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz said on Monday, "[United States] Vice President [Mike] Pence proved once again that he is a true friend of the Jewish people and of the State of Israel in a warm and moving pro-Israeli speech at the Knesset plenum."
Katz explained, "His important statements on the one hand about the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem by the end of next year, together with his statement that the US will never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons proves the strong ties between the two countries."
