(Fox News)- With Egyptian unrest flaring over Israel’s shoulder and Palestinian demands for a capital in East Jerusalem ringing through Mideast peace process talks, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday the Obama administration has done more for Israel’s security than any other U.S. presidency.
Speaking to reporters during a trip home from Munich where she attended a global security conference of more than 70 nations, the top U.S. diplomat said the nation is “unalterably, unequivocally committed to Israel’s security.”
“In fact, this administration, under President Obama, has done more in two years for Israel’s security than any administration in the past. So we not only talk about Israel’s security, we have delivered and will continue to deliver,” she said.
Asked to provide an example of how the administration has ensured Israel’s security, Clinton responded: “I think that the facts speak for themselves about what we have done to help buttress and support Israel’s security. Some of it is unclassified, some of it is classified.” Adding that the administration is “on a constant outreach campaign,” Clinton said she is “not going to put any value statement” on her claim.

But Washington’s change of heart towards the embattled Egyptian president has not passed unnoticed in Israel, where the dominant reaction has been one of criticism — in government circles, among analysts and in the press.
“One gets the impression that Washington was pretty anxious to throw Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak overboard” once he became a cumbersome ally, a senior Israeli official told AFP, on condition of anonymity. “Even if the American position has become more nuanced in the last few days, it doesn’t make it any less of a desertion. That’s what is most worrying,” he said.
“Loyalty is priceless, especially in the Middle East,” he said, warning that Washington’s sudden apparent ditching of the Egyptian leader could undermine the credibility of American foreign policy. (Full Story of “Reality“)
