Biden, in a short address before the reception Wednesday on the grounds of the Naval Observatory in northwest Washington, reaffirmed the Obama administration’s commitment to Israel’s security.
According to tweets posted by Nathan Diament, the Washington director of the Orthodox Union, Biden said that "Both our nations are intently focused on the threat of Iran" and "there is no daylight" between the United States and Israel.
Diament also quoted Biden as saying that "We will use all the elements of our national security, including military" to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
