Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni said in her speech to the Jewish Federation's General Assembly in the US that "the vision of two-states for two peoples does not stand alone. It is accompanied by the understanding that must be strengthened that Israel maintains a unique and strong relationship with the US."
According to her, "The US is strong and strengthens Israel. The role of the Israeli and American leadership is to maintain and strengthen this relationship." (Roni Sofer)
