“Regardless of what government is in place, our stalwart support, our ironclad support for Israel will remain [...] Nothing about that will change even if there is a change in government,” Price said during a daily briefing.

On Wednesday, Israel’s opposition leaders announced that they had succeeded in setting up a broad coalition to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after 12 years of uninterrupted rule.

Price declined to comment on the government formation in Israel “while it is in process.”
