Danny Seaman, deputy director-general of Israel’s Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, spoke with Arutz Sheva’s Josh Hasten about Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel on A7 Radio’s “Reality Bytes” Internet Radio program last week.

“We have an interest in stressing the deep bonds between the United States and the State of Israel,” Seaman told Hasten.

“President Obama is the president elected by the American people,” he reminded listeners, “and therefore out of respect for the American people and for that bond between Israel and the United States he will be received here with all the respect and honors which the State of Israel knows how to give,” Seaman said.
