As per reports, it has been revealed that relation between the US and Israel has became stronger now. It would not be wrong to say that the relationship’s strength is at its best in comparison to the past ties, said US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

Leon was found saying the same when Defense Minister Ehud Barak was awarded as the highest civilian honor from the US Department of Defense. It is said that the award is quite prestigious and was presented at the Pentagon.

There are reasons for which their ties are so strong, said Panetta. He said that both have similar values. Moreover, their commitment is also similar, so their relation has become so deep. Similarity in thoughts could be seen when defense ministers of both the countries said that statehood grant to Palestinian at the UN was not less than a mistake.

Panetta was even found to be praising Barak. He said that Barak has remained determined to maintain peace in his entire career of military and politics. "Few people have such far-reaching and positive impacts on Israeli security and prosperity and, I have to say, on the US-Israeli relationship”, said Panetta about Barak. It is expected that their ties remain cordial like this.
