Khenin: A leader is measured by deeds, not words

Hadash leader Dov Khenin says Obama’s speech is “impressive,” but not worthy of a standing ovation just yet.

“Obama came here to represent American and not Israeli interests,” Khenin tells the Walla news website, praising the US president.

He adds, however, that he won’t give him a standing ovation, “because the test of an American president is not nice speeches, but the ability to advance policy and change.”
