One of Israel's veteran diplomats says the U.S.-Israel relationship won't change much no matter which candidate wins. Zalman Shoval, former Israeli ambas- sador to the United States, said recent- ly that the relationship between Israel and the United States is not overly influenced by U.S. administration change from one president to another or from one party or another.
