JERUSALEM —
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir returned from the United States today saying he had halted a decline in U.S.-Israel relations.
“At the end of the visit, I feel that what was done stopped the sense of deterioration of relations which are very important to us,” Shamir told reporters at Ben Gurion Airport. “I came to the United States at a time when Israel was attacked and slandered daily in the media because of the disturbances in Judea, Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza.”
