Rivlin underline US ties, revealing other side of reality

With the media buzzing over a possible crisis between Israel and the US amid sharpened US rhetoric, head of the Zionist regime has revealed the other side of the reality by exposing the deep bond between the two sides.

In an interview with Army Radio on Wednesday, Rivlin downplayed the tensions with the Obama administration in light of reports that US officials complained about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies vis-a-vis Iran, the Palestinians, and settlement expansion.

Rivlin said relations with Washington were paramount in forming policy, or as he put it: "Three principles bind Israel's foreign policy: the first, is US ties; the second – US ties; the third, which is no less important, is US ties."
