US President Donald Trump is ready for effective cooperation with the leader of the "Yeshar" Party, Gadi Eisenkot, if he becomes the Prime Minister of Israel.
Modern.az reports that this was stated by the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
Answering a question about the prospects of cooperation between the US administration and Eisenkot, the diplomat emphasized that after the people make their choice through voting, Washington will work with the government chosen by those people.
"The people have voted, and of course, we will cooperate with the government chosen by the people," the ambassador noted.
According to Huckabee, Trump's support for the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the election campaign in Israel does not mean that he will refuse to cooperate equally closely with another legally elected head of government.
The ambassador stated that the US President has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to work effectively with politicians representing various political camps around the world.
Regarding the possibility of Washington directly interfering in coalition talks in Israel, particularly inviting Netanyahu or Eisenkot to the White House for consultations, Huckabee said he was not aware of such an intention yet. However, he did not rule out that such diplomatic steps could be discussed.
