President Bush reiterated his pledge to defend Israel if Iran attacks it. In an interview with Reuters, Bush expanded on the pledge made last month. “I am concerned about a person that, one, tries to rewrite the history of the Holocaust, and two, has made it clear that his intentions are to destroy Israel,” Bush said in the interview Wednesday. “Israel is a solid ally of the United States, we will rise to Israel’s defense if need be.”
