On the recordFebruary 13, 2001
as one of America's staunchest allies and the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel continues to set a shining example of free and fair elections, the peaceful transition of power, and vibrant political discourse. I congratulate Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon on his victory and wish him well. I share the Prime Minister's conviction that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat must bring an end to the violence and reign in terrorism. The Israeli election on February 6 once again demonstrated why the strong bond between the United States and Israel is continually reinforced by our shared values and shared goals. This is the foundation for America's firm solidarity with the State of Israel.
