"Today Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress and reiterated the sobering reality that no matter what they say, Iran's ultimate goal is to destroy Israel and the United States. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East. The Administration should remember that Israel's enemies are our enemies too. We should not turn our back on them and negotiate with Iran (a state sponsor of terror). America needs to be clear and steadfast in its efforts to combat a nuclear Iran. As we have learned from the past, playing hardball with Iran and increasing sanctions works. Now is not the time to wave the white flag. America and Israel are in this together and must work together. Our national security depends on it."
