REPORTER: “Leader McConnell, on — on Israel funding. Senate Democrats are currently debating this idea of whether to place conditions on the funding. One of the arguments in favor is that Congress does this for nearly every other country that it gets foreign military assistance to. What is your response to that?” MCCONNELL: “I think it’s ridiculous. Our relationship with Israel is the closest national security relationship we have with any country in the world. And to condition, in effect, our assistance to Israel on their meeting our standards it seems to me is totally unnecessary.”
