[Ynet] At least seven Jewish Democrats lambasted Israeli Ambassador Dermer over Netanyahu's scheduled Congress speech: 'Israel should never be used as a political football.'
Israel's ambassador to the United States has gotten an earful from a half-dozen House Democrats angered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's acceptance of a Republican invitation to address Congress next month.
Ron Dermer met privately with seven Jewish Democrats on Wednesday to discuss Netanyahu's plans for a March 3 speech on Iran, and some of the politicians urged the prime minister to postpone the speech or hold it somewhere other than Congress, participants said. They told Dermer that Netanyahu was unwise to accept a Republican invitation that bypassed President Barack Obama |
