Asked to weigh in on Netanyahu’s talk earlier today with Republicans, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says, “The prime minister can decide for himself where he wants to talk… But I do think it’s important to remember that support for Israel… has been a long-standing bipartisan issue in this country.”
“It’s indicative of the broad support that the Israeli people know they can count on from the American people, and it’s important that that support stay bipartisan,” Kirby adds in a press briefing with reporters.
