Israel Is Our Finest
Ally
The supreme commander of
NATO operations in Europe, John Craddock, has called Israel a "model
state" and the United States' closest ally in the Middle East.
Speaking before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee in
Washington Thursday, said Israel consistently and directly supported
U.S. interests by means of security cooperation and understanding
U.S. policy in the region.
He commended the stability of Israel's government and said Israel
was a model state that encouraged democratic ideals and pro-Western
values and economics.
Craddock's comments were unusual for a senior officer in the U.S. military.

His Predecessor
U.S. Marine Corps
General James L. Jones, who retired from EUCOM around three
months ago, refused to even mention Israel.
