‘There is no crisis in US-Israel relations’

DHAKA: US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro Thursday sought to calm fears of a crisis in US-Israel relations.

He said the two countries share the common goal of preventing Iran of acquiring nuclear weapons, Israel Radio reported, says The Jerusalem Post.

During a visit to Sderot, Shapiro also commented on the murder of US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, saying the loss of a great ambassador and three of his staff members is a great tragedy for the United States.
