Israel must always have the right and ability to defend herself. We know that when Israel is strong, well equipped, we can count on a strong sense of stability in the region. For this reason, I also advocated for 500 million to the Israeli missile defense programs. An additional 3.3 billion in in security assistance to Israel. For 75 years, Israel has defied the odds. It's become an oasis of industry, innovation and democracy. (03:47–03:52)
