Supporting Unconditional Aid for Israel

Bloomberg has asserted his unwavering support for Israel in AIPAC’s 2020 summit. He claimed that “I will always have Israel’s back”, adding “because Israel has a right to defend itself, by itself. And that means I will never impose conditions on military aid, no matter what government is in power.” He continued that “Israel is on the front lines of encountering American enemies in the region and sharing valuable intelligence and experience with us,” he added. “So conditioning foreign aid would not only impair Israel’s ability to keep itself safe, but our ability to keep ourselves safe as well. As president, I give you my word that I will never ever compromise on the safety and security of Israel.”1
