A senior aide to Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has voiced expectations that the Boston Marathon attacks will strengthen American support for Israel, Israeli newspaper Haaretz said on Monday.
Ron Dermer, the political advisor to Netanyahu, said that this was the case following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In a closed meeting with the heads of American Jewish organisations, it was reported that Dermer said: "If we look through history, a large [better] change happened after 9/11. After the tragic attack in Boston, I am sure that people [in America] will feel more sympathy with Israel and support its anti-terror fight."
He also said: "We will succeed in keeping this support as the overwhelming majority of Americans take sides with Israel."
