Biden: There are tactical differences between America and Israel

US Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged that there are tactical differences between the United States and Israel, but said that there was no disagreement in the strategic visions between the two countries.

Biden stressed, in a speech on Saturday, in front of Saban's annual conference held by the Brookings Center in Washington, that the United States has a strategic commitment to maintaining Israel's security, noting that President Barack Obama's administration supports Israel the security in an unprecedented way.

He said that the current US administration has supported Israel's right to defend itself, by itself, where she presented to Israel is estimated at 17 billion dollars since Obama took power in military aid, a larger volume of aid provided by the United States, any State.

Said Biden, during the conference, which was held under the name "Surf Storm: The United States and Israel in the turbulent Middle East", that the majority of Israelis and Palestinians want to achieve peace, and that the United States recognizes that a two-state daunting task solution, but it must continue to try.

"The fastest way to destroy the negotiation process is to deny the possibility of achieving a political settlement to reach the two-state solution or worse to allow the growing of provocation and the cycle of violence."

Biden criticized the settlement expansion policy, and the demolition of Palestinian homes of relatives of those involved in acts of violence against Israelis, describing the policy of collective punishment, and called for the need to put an end to achieve justice by force.

With regard to Iran, Biden reiterated that the United States will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and said that "this will not happen under our eyes."

He explained that he has been exaggerated in the US stance on Iran, and said that "the initial agreement, which was reached last year, has made significant progress in the freeze uranium enrichment and the Iranian reactors."

He pointed to the approval of the extension of the negotiations with Iran with the aim of reaching a comprehensive final agreement to Bslmah Iran's nuclear program, and rejected Biden's idea of imposing new sanctions on Iran, and said he was not the right time to take such a step, and called to give a chance to complete the negotiations, and stressed that the United States will continue to put pressure on the Iranians, as it has enough strength to reach a final agreement on Iran's nuclear program, he said.
