U.S. Ambassador's Remarks July 4th Celebration

Welcome again, it’s wonderful to see all of you here at this important celebration of America’s history. Julie and I are honored by so many special guests, too many to name, but I want to extend a special welcome, of course, to President Peres—I’m very glad you could join us tonight and appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to celebrate with us. We will also be hearing greetings from Prime Minister Netanyahu in a few moments, by video, and I’m grateful for his participation. We wish him a speedy recovery. I also want to send our condolences to the family of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

About 100 by-invitation-only guests gathered on Saturday evening at the elegant Savyon residence of Samuel Schlesinger, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Croatia, for a musical soiree. This was concert number 13 in the series that the Croation Consul arranges for guests. The event showcased a special appearance by the Kir Stefan Serb Choir of the St. Sava Orthodox Church in Toronto, Canada, under the leadership of Conductor and Artistic Director Ms. Jasmina Vučurović.

President Barroso met today Prime-Minister Netanayahu at the beginning of his visit to Israel.


On this occasion both leaders reviewed the state of EU-Israel relations. President Barroso emphasized the close nature of the bilateral relations, both from a political and economic point of view, with the EU remaining Israel's main trading partner accounting for 30% of overall trade. The particular success of the cooperation on science and research was illustrated with the signature of a MoU on cooperation on energy and water.
