Visiting Democratic Congressmen Discuss Iran with Netanyahu
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the Iran nuclear agreement on Sunday with 22 Democratic members of the U.S. Congress, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told Ha'aretz on Monday. "He was respectful and expressed his position in a moderate, thoughtful and organized way. He understands that the decision is up to the members of the House," Hoyer said. "He didn't tell them to vote one way or another, but it was clear he hopes they will vote against the agreement because it is a bad deal that will allow Iran to have a path to a nuclear bomb in 13 years....He gave a very rational presentation about why he thinks this deal is not in the best interest of the United States, Israel and the region." "Everybody in the free world has said Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. Netanyahu believes it is an existential threat, so he is taking every step necessary."
