At the ceremony, during which Biden was presented by Herzog with the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor, Biden attributed his interest in the Jewish state to his “righteous Christian” father.
“You know that my love for Israel is deep-rooted,” said Biden.
“I’ve had the honor — it’s hard to say these words, for over 50 years, it can’t be that long — but for over 50 years in the federal government, helping build the relationship.”
Biden compared Israel and the US, calling both “places built on hope, grit and determination.”
“Seeing Israel thrive, seeing the wildest dreams of Israel’s founding fathers and mothers grow into a reality that Israel’s children enjoy today, to me is close to miraculous.”
