US Vice President Joseph Biden stressed the Obama administration’s “rock solid” commitment to Israeli security in an address to 5,000 American Jews on Saturday night.

Biden spoke 36 hours before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet Monday with President Barack Obama at the White House, the first time the two heads of state will meet since the bitter and personal fight over the international nuclear deal with Iran.
