White House ‘doubts’ Obama will watch Congress speech

Earnest is asked about whether President Obama will watch Netanyahu’s address to Congress tomorrow.

“I haven’t looked at the president’s schedule for tomorrow, I doubt that he will spend his whole time watching the speech,” he replies.

Earnest says he does not believe Netanyahu’s opposition to the deal “will have much of impact on the ultimate outcome.”

He says leaks to the Israeli media on the Iranian talks by unnamed Israeli officials “is inconsistent with the behavior of trusted allies.”
