The United States on Tuesday promised to maintain its strong support for Israel as it heads to its fifth election in less than four years.

"I don't expect political developments in Israel will have implications for what we are seeking to accomplish together with our Israeli partners -- or with our Palestinian partners for that matter," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters, according to AFP.

"The strength of our relationship does not depend on who sits in the Oval Office. It doesn't depend on who sits in the prime minister's chair in Israel," Price added.
