U.S.-Israel Strategic Dialogue

The talks reflect the deep, abiding friendship and understanding between the United States and Israel, based on shared values and common interests. The strategic dialogue constitutes a further step in fortifying and enhancing the strategic relationship between the two countries.
In addition to Minister Hanegbi and Under Secretary Burns, other participants included, from the Israeli side: Ambassador to the U.S. Daniel Ayalon, the Directors General of Israel's Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense, and National Security Advisor and other senior officials. The U.S. side was represented by:Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, National Security Advisor to the Vice President John Hannah, Ambassador Richard Jones, Assistant Secretary Welch, NSC Director Elliott Abrams, and other senior officials. The United States and Israel look forward to continuing this dialogue in the Spring of 2006 in Israel.
