Obama to US Jews: Iran deal lifts existential threat to Israel – The Times of Israel 28.08.15
In live broadcast, President Obama reaches out to Jews and Israel as "family".

"The bond between the United States and Israel is not political. It is something that grows out of family ties and bonds that stretch back generations, and shared values and shared commitments and shared beliefs in democracy.  And like all families sometimes there are going to be disagreements.  And sometimes people get angrier about disagreements in families than with folks that aren't family."
