“But I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can remember in the past.”

“But I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can remember in the past.”

A good portion of Israel's security has depended on the implied support and defense capabilities of the US. It behooves Israel to remind everyone that America will still come to their defense. I expect they are hoping to disuade Egyptian intervention.
