Israeli FM: It's time for Israel to look for allies other than the United States

During a speech given at the Sderot Conference, Liberman stressed the importance of not putting too much focus on America as Israel’s main ally. “For many years Israel’s foreign policy was one directional towards Washington, but my policy has many more directions.”

Liberman, who returned to his post last week after being acquitted of fraud charges, said “the Americans today are dealing with too many challenges and I wouldn’t want to be in their place. They are busy in Iran and North Korea and also have economic and immigration problems.”
