(Times of Israel) Haviv Rettig Gur - Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), and Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), in Israel for meetings with senior Israeli officials, insisted on Thursday that high-profile disagreements have not dampened support for the U.S.-Israel alliance. Shortly after meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Sen. Ayotte said the meeting "emphasized how unbreakable the relationship is with Israel regardless of what any official says at any one time." "I can say [Israel and the U.S.] are very much aligned." The relationship "is as strong as could be," said Sen. Donnelly. "When we were with [Netanyahu] tonight, there was a very clear understanding on both [sides] that we're standing shoulder to shoulder."
