Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon is apologizing for the second time in two months about critical statements he made against the U.S. government.
In the wake of tremendous anger in Washington, a telephone call between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a personal talk with the prime minister, Ya'alon told his American counterpart, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, that there was no defiance, criticism or intention to hurt the United States or Israel's relations with its ally with his words.
Ya'alon said he sees utmost importance in the strategic relations between the countries, as well as in personal relations and mutual interests. He told Hagel he values relations on all levels between Israel and the United States in general, and on the defense level in particular.
