Why Netanyahu would put his country’s security before Obama’s feelings has the White House thoroughly upset.
Netanyahu,will reportedly tell Congress on February 11th March 3rd that Islamic extremism is on the rise and that Iran should not be trusted during negotiations over its nuclear program.
This upset the White House.
The White House announced last week that President Barack Obama will not meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his upcoming visit in March…citing “the proximity to the Israeli election.”
Netanyahu then changed his speech before Congress to coincide with his speech to AIPAC in Washington DC in March.
The Israeli elections are scheduled for March 17, 2015.
But the White House excuse was all a lie.
