VOA: Obama, Netanyahu to Meet on Mideast Security
WHITE HOUSE - The speech was unprecedented.
“My friends, for over a year, we've been told that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well, this is a bad deal. It's a very bad deal. We're better off without it.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could not have been more blunt, as he stood before Congress on March 3 and delivered a pointed critique of U.S.-led efforts to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran.
Netanyahu spoke at the invitation of then-Republican House Speaker John Boehner, as the Obama administration worked to hammer out the agreement between the P5+1 and Iran.
Several Democratic lawmakers boycotted the speech, calling it an affront and an effort to undermine the American president.
WNU Editor: The Israeli list on what they want from this meeting is long .... U.S. officials: Israel wants up to $5 billion in annual military aid (Al Arabiya/Reuters). My prediction .... they will get most of what they want.
