Question: let’s talk a little bit specifically about the prime minister. susan rice said that what he has done by accepting the invitation to speak was destructive to the fabric of the relationship. would you agree that it’s destructive? and if so, will there be any consequences for him or for israel?
Answer: you know, i think that prime minister netanyahu is sincere about his concerns with respect to iran. and given iran’s record and given the extraordinarily disruptive and dangerous activities of this regime in the region, it’s understandable why israel is very concerned about iran. we are too. but what we’ve consistently said is we have to stay focused on our ultimate goal, which is preventing iran from having a nuclear weapon. now, as a matter of policy, we think it’s a mistake for the prime minister of any country to come to speak before congress a few weeks before they are about to have an election. it makes it look like we are taking sides.
