Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress Tuesday on Iran’s nuclear threat marks a low in U.S.-Israel relations. The speech, arranged with House Speaker John Boehner (D-OH) and without any notice to the White House or State Department, was seen as an unprecedented diss of a U.S. president, as interference in domestic U.S. politics, as a stunt to boost Netanyahu’s re-election prospects back home, and as a threat to the bipartisan consensus on Israel in the U.S.
