Washington (AFP) - Amid a bitter public fight with Israel's government, President Barack Obama on Friday donned a yarmulke and pitched his nuclear deal with Iran and the case for a Palestinian state directly to US Jews.
Visiting Washington's conservative Adas Israel synagogue, Obama embarked on a Hebrew-sprinkled charm offensive which stressed that US-Israeli relations encompass more than just official links with the Likud government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Telling the 1,000-plus congregation he was delighted to be "an honorary member of the tribe," Obama said "my commitment to Israel's security is and always will be unshakeable."
"The people of Israel must always know America has its back, and America will always have its back."
