Hillary Rodham Clinton assured thousands of AIPAC activists that Barack Obama will be “a good friend to Israel.”
Speaking Wednesday before thousands of pro-Israel activists in Washington at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference, the New York senator stressed the need for a Democratic president in the White House.
“I know Senator Obama knows what is at stake here,” Clinton said, adding, “Let me be very clear: I know Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel.”
Speaking a day after Obama (D-Ill.) appeared to secure the Democratic nomination, Clinton aimed her criticisms at the foreign policy of President Bush, saying it had made Israel less safe.
