Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that the United States will continue to support Israel despite strong differences with Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu and the concern the US government may have for possible members of its new right wing government

Addressing a left-leaning group criticized by some on the right for their excessive sympathy for the Palestinians and Iran, Blinken said the United States will remain a staunch friend of Israel even as it pursues goals Netanyahu has opposed, such as resolution of the two-state Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the reinstatement of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
