Westerman Issues Statement On Netanyahu Address to Joint Meeting of Congress

Press Release

"As a strong supporter of Israel, it pleases me that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has accepted Speaker Boehner's invitation to address a joint meeting of Congress. It is my hope that in spite of the weak foreign policy of the Obama administration in the Middle East, Prime Minister Netanyahu will leave Capitol Hill having a firm knowledge that Congress is committed to the bond between our two great nations, realizing that a strong Israel is in the best interest of America.

"It is also my hope that the prime minister, through years of first hand experience, will be able to convey to the United States Congress and Americans across our great country the dangers faced by Israel, France, and our allies around the world at the hands of radical Islam. Terrorism is a threat more real today than ever, and Prime Minister Netanyahu's words of wisdom about his nation's long fight against terrorists are most welcome in light of recent attacks around the world."
