Obama: Support for “Israel” Not for Debate
US President Barack Obama reiterated Thursday Washington's staunch support for "Israel" was not up for partisan debate.
Obama also expressed his condemnation for what he called the "barbaric bomb attack on a bus filled with "Israeli" tourists in Bulgaria that left six dead."
"I want everybody to know, under my administration, we haven't just preserved the unbreakable bond with "Israel", we have strengthened it," Obama told a mainly elderly audience at a campaign event in West Palm Beach.
"We stood by "Israel's" side in the face of criticism. Our military and intelligence cooperation have never been closer," he said, pointing out it was a "great moment of uncertainty in the Middle East."
Obama also affirmed that "given what's happening in Syria and given what's happening in other places."
"Now is the time to make sure that we do everything we can to protect "Israel's" security," he stressed.
He further stressed that "now's the time to make sure that we're doing everything we can to protect "Israel's" security, and I want you to know that that's something that should transcend party."
"That's not a Republican or Democratic issue," Obama stated.
