“There is absolutely no space between the United States and Israel when it comes to Israel’s security — none at all,” Biden said.
Peres began a long discussion about what the United States should do about Iran and the Middle East peace process. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s statements about Israel, he said, were a coverup for the “hegemony” it seeks in the region.
