more than one occasion, I told
President Obama, and before that
Presidents Bush and Clinton, the
following: "On issues that we believe
are essential to the security and future
of Israel and of the Jewish people,
Israel will make its decisions alone and
on its own responsibility and act upon
them. We cannot, and will not want
to", I added, "delegate the
responsibility for such decisions,
when required, even to the best of our
friends – which is you."
The US presidents, I note, did not
always like this statement – but they
respected it.
• In the same token, I told
members of the cabinet more than once
– "we must always remember that the
US is also a sovereign state. And it
expects us to respect its right to form
