Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin says US commitment to Israel's security is 'iron-clad' but voices concern over violence by illegal Jewish settlers and actions that put two-state solution 'out of reach'
US commitment to Israel's security is"iron-clad" but the country opposes actions that put two-state solution"out of reach," says Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin in Israel.
Austin said, in a joint news conference with Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Galant on Thursday, that the US commitment to Israel's security was "iron-clad". Austin had reported "a very frank and candid discussion among friends about the need to de-escalate, to lower tensions and restore calm especially before the holidays of Passover and Ramadan".
Austin said "diplomacy is the best way to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon", while adding the US would not allow that to happen. The mounting violence in the occupied West Bank has coincided with the tenure of Netanyahu's coalition government, which took office in December and is regarded as the most right-wing in Israeli history.
