Netanyahu visit to left-wing think tank begins by acknowledging differences

Netanyahu begins to speak to Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden.

Tanden opens by acknowledging differences between the left-wing group and the conservative prime minister.

“While we disagreed deeply on the Iran nuclear deal, we believe the US-Israel relationship is vital,” she says.

“The choices you make matter profoundly to Israel’s future and the future of the region, and we believe that matters to America.”

It was a statement addressing criticism Tanden has faced from within over inviting Netanyahu.
