Mehr News quoted Yediot Ahronot reporting that Avigdor Libermann had said “our ties with the US are deteriorating,” and that “we should find other new allies with common interests.”
“The US is currently facing challenges in North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Egypt, and China. In addition, they have their own economic issues. I would pose the question what is Israel’s position in international arena?” said Lieberman.
US-Israeli relations have been down in Obama administration and the US resolve to solve the nuclear issue with Iran has widened the gap between Tel Aviv and Washington.
