Jerusalem (AP) President Bush is preparing to deliver a speech of unwavering U.S. support for Israel when he stands before the Israeli parliament.

In his prepared remarks, Bush will tell the Knesset that, “some people suggest that if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the middle east would go away.” but he says, that's “a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of our enemies, and America rejects it utterly.”

Bush denounces Iran for its call to wipe Israel “off the map.” he says the U.S. and Israel firmly oppose Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. As the president will put it, “permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations.”
