DMCA | A contentious speech before Congress by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month is well behind Washington at this point but an upcoming trip to Israel has House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, once again criticizing the administration's relationship with Israel. Asked whether his invitation to Netanyahu to speak before Congress without consulting the White House had contributed to the breakdown in relations, Boehner said he was just trying to ensure that the American people and Congress "heard about the serious threat that Iran poses not only to the Middle East, but for the rest of the world, including the United States." |
