US Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, terms Netanyahu’s speech “historic,” and says “Every Member on the House floor felt the Prime Minister’s passion and resolve to confront this challenge.”
He says Netanyahu “powerfully described in unmistakable terms the threat” of a nuclear Iran.
“For President Obama and his team, Iran is a problem to manage. For Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is a threat to his country’s existence,” Royce says in a statement.
“The Prime Minister underscored, bolded, and capitalized the tough questions. How will negotiators from the US and our partners respond? Deal or no deal, Congress will soon have its say on these negotiations,” he continues. “This is crunch time for the US and Israel regarding the Iranian and growing terrorist threat in the region. Today’s speech was historic. ”
