AFP - US Vice President Joe Biden said after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday that Washington's commitment to Israel's security is "absolute, total, unvarnished."

"The cornerstone of the relationship is our absolute, total, unvarnished commitment to Israel's security," said Biden, who was in the region to encourage indirect Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and discuss international efforts to halt Iran's nuclear drive.

"Progress occurs in the Middle East when everyone knows there is simply no space between the United States and Israel. There is no space between the United States and Israel when it comes to Israel's security."
