Speaking during Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rose to defend President Obama from recent criticism that he hasn’t been as strong an ally as his predecessors were.
In the US “you see this tremendous, tremendous sympathy and affinity for Israel,” Netanyahu said. “And I think that bipartisan support is expressed by any person who happens to be the president of the United States, including President Obama.”
When asked if President Obama was as friendly as his predecessor, Netanyahu declared: “They are all friends of Israel, equally representing this friendship of America.”
