The lone Jewish Republican in Congress says American leaders should present a united front in support of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before lawmakers this morning.
In an interview with The Daily Signal, Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., called on his Jewish colleagues to uniformly embrace Netanyahu’s appearance before Congress and to empathize with Israel’s concern over a potential American nuclear deal with Iran.
“The Israeli prime minister, whoever that person is, should have an open invitation to come to America to speak to Congress and the American people,” said Zeldin, 35. “I want all my colleagues to attend and to embrace the prime minister’s visit and to listen to his important thoughts on the best way not only to strengthen the relationship between American and Israel, but to ensure we don’t negotiate a bad deal with Iran just to negotiate a deal.”
