US Official: US to Maintain Support for “Israel”, Largest Joint Military Drills Held Soon
Local Editor
US Department of State's Assisstant for Political and Security Affairs, Andrew Schubert, assured on Sunday strong relations between the US and "Israel".
Announcing that the US and "Israel" are getting set to conduct their largest joint-military drill in their history, Schubert pointed out that "The Obama Administration supports "Israel"", adding that "Our affairs with "Israel" are wider and deeper, and even stronger than ever."
Schubert said in a speech before The Washington Institute for Far East Policy, that 5,000 "Israeli" and US soldiers would participate in the maneuvers in which they would test their defense capabilities against Ballistic missiles.
"The "Israeli military defense" technology is very effective for the US Home Land Security, and in defending US troops," said Schubert, pointed out that "Israeli armor technology and modern dressing, developed by "Israel", have helped in saving many US soldiers so far."
He seemed to be assuring that "Israeli" military superiority is on the top of the President's agenda, and on the mind of the Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, as well.
He further stated that the US Congress would approve to place business deals of small weapons between the two countries, reiterating Washington's commitment to continuing its military assistance for "Israel" with an annual value of four billion US$. He assured that the US assistance for "Israel" is because the latter protects U.S. military interests.
He also pointed to the report recently issued by the institute, titled with: "Israel" is a strategic asset for the United States. The article claims that if "Israel" becomes weak, then its enemy's power would rise, and a weak "Israel" would increase the risk of a major confrontation in the region. Therefore, that would cause destructive consequences for the US interests in the Middle East.

The report adds that the "Israeli" military power is considered a deterrent factor, to whoever intends to attack its interests. This power, nevertheless, helps to push stability and peace in the region.
