The Prime Minister’s Office on Friday night released a clip of Benjamin Netanyahu drafting text for the address on Iran’s nuclear program he is set to deliver to a meeting of both houses of Congress on Tuesday.
The clearly staged footage, showing Netanyahu writing text with a thick blue pen, was screened on Israel’s Channel 2.
Earlier Friday, Netanyahu said flatly that he was headed to Washington next week in a bid to stop the emerging nuclear deal between Iran and international world powers, an agreement he has said poses a potential existential threat to Israel.
In his most direct statements to date against the deal, Netanyahu told Kol Barama, a haredi radio station, that he was “going to the US to try to stop the emerging agreement that is a danger to the State of Israel.”
Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon told Channel 2 that the looming deal was a “bad” one, and that there was a “vast gulf” between the Israeli government and the Obama Administration when it came to the Iran issue.
“This is an historic moment,” Ya’alon said, and Netanyahu was obligated to seek to win over Congress. History would judge the Israeli leadership badly, he said, “if we don’t stand up for ourselves.”
“It is my duty as Israeli prime minister, and as one who looks out for the future of the Jewish people, to do everything possible to convince the sole body [Congress] capable of perhaps preventing such a deal,” Netanyahu said.
“When the issue at hand is our very existence, what is expected of a prime minister? Should he bow down and accept the danger for the sake of a relationship?” he asked.
A nuclear Iran is much more dangerous to Israel than disagreements with the United States, added Netanyahu.

Obama releases a tape of him repeating teleprompted dictation for a recording while sitting in his Golf Cart.
The Caddy is operating the recorder.
I don’t think Netanyahu is going to change Obama’s mind or get him to negotiate differently. There’s only going to be one thing that will make a difference there ... and that is “the next President in office”.
Obama doesn’t have to “reach a deal” with Iran to enable Iran to build nuclear weapons ... all Obama has to do is “not reach a deal” and Iran can do that. And Congress can’t do anything about it either, to stop Iran.
SO, Netanyahu can have a great and clear speech about the danger of Iran, but the speech is not going to stop anything.
Obama did this but he was writing with Crayons
Hi Onyx,
THANKS sooo much for posting photos and clips like this one. Should help the whole bunch of Freepers get off the fence and DONATE.
Even a SMALL monthly donation helps. OR a one time donation. What WOULD we do without FR ???
Let’s hope he presents some satellite photos of Iran that makes jaws drop. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone pulls the fire alarm or some other STUNT that prevents the speech from happening.
Aw, thanks so much, sweetest you.
We really trying our level best to garner more Monthly Donors and also to complete our 1st Quarter FReepathon!
Tomorrow is the last day of February!
