"If you want to know how deep the friendship and commitment between the two countries is, just look at how Ambassador Haley stood by Israel's side at the UN, and at our profound diplomatic and military bonds."
The US recognition of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights "as inseparable parts of the State of Israel constitutes another milestone for our common interests," he continued.

"As the organization that founded the State of Israel, the World Zionist Organization will continue to stand by the Jewish community leaders in instilling our common values, while battling anti-Semitism and the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement uncompromisingly, in full cooperation with American Jewry.
"The WZO promotes immigration to Israel, outreach and Zionist education, and sends Israeli teachers who teach Hebrew and Judaism in hundreds of Jewish schools throughout the US.
"We are proud of our strong bond with the United States and wish ourselves many more years of true friendship," Hagoel concluded.
