He noted Britain's "strong, deep-rooted friendship based on a huge historic admiration for what the State of Israel has achieved against all the odds." He added, "The democracy of which Israel is a shining beacon, and which Britain always stood for, these democratic values cannot be taken for granted in the modern world....We have to stand together as fellow democracies, part of an invisible chain linking the democracies of the world, and that is going to be our great, great mission."
