I do believe that those ties are strong today, but Obama being in the Oval Office can block and cancel many things that make those strong ties. Obama won’t get rid of those ties, by the time he gets out of office, so they can be made stronger still, later on, with a LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT in office.
I pretty much agree with that, but I do think there are things Obama can do to undercut Israel. This can and probably will affect Israel negatively.
The nuclear deal with Iran is one issue that clearly fits this scenario. If there are others to be had, this administration will find and tap them.
Israel will be here when Obama leaves, and I do think the next president will return things to some manner of normalcy, (or relations that is).
We’ll see.
