(Prime Minister's Office) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.S.-led Summit for Democracy on Wednesday: "Israel and the United States have had their occasional differences, but I want to assure you that the alliance between the world's greatest democracy and a strong, proud and independent democracy - Israel - in the heart of the Middle East is unshakable. Nothing can change that." "You may have noted Israel is undergoing, in its robust democracy, a very intensive public debate. And the debate is how do we ensure a proper democracy. Democracy means the will of the people as expressed by a majority, and it also means protection of civil rights, individual rights. It's the balance between the two. I want to assure you that Israel was, is and it will always remain a proud, strong and vibrant democracy."
