The full text of the letter follows:
The Honorable Barack Obama
The President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We write to express our gratitude for the swift and effective intervention of the United States in helping secure the safety of personnel besieged by a raging mob at the Israeli Embassy in Cairo.
Following your urgent discussion last night with Prime Minister Netanyahu, U.S. actions to assure the prompt dispatch of Egyptian commandos to rescue the trapped Israelis prevented a personal tragedy.
We know that American assistance to its democratic ally Israel in this fast-developing crisis – only the latest example of a historic and mutually beneficial partnership – also averted further strain in Egyptian-Israel relations, a pillar of regional peace and stability.
For this and other acts of close American cooperation with Israel and other nations that share and defend our values, please know that you have our full support.
Respectfully,
Robert H. Elman David Harris
