Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a statement on Tuesday, noting that despite the controversy surrounding his speech before the US Congress next month two weeks before elections, he does not intend to back down from accepting the invitation.
Netanyahu began by sending "condolences to (US) President (Barack) Obama, the American people and the family of Kayla Mueller. We stand with you." The comment refers to a US captive of Islamic State (ISIS) who was killed in a coalition airstrike.
Turning to the speech, and relations between Israel and the US that have been in great tension over recent months, he continued "Israels survival is not a partisan issue, not in Israel nor in the United States. This doesnt mean that from time to time Israeli governments have not had serious disagreements with American administrations over the best way to achieve the security of Israel."
"Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, declared Israels independence in the face of strong opposition from US Secretary of State George Marshall," reminded Netanyahu, and indeed the US did not provide any military aid in either of Israel's first two wars of survival.
Moving through history, he added "Prime Minister (Levy) Eshkols decisions at the start of the Six Day War, Prime Minister (Menachem) Begins decision regarding the nuclear reactor in Iraq, and Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharons decisions to press ahead with Operation Defensive Shield; these were all strongly opposed at the time by American administrations."
After noting the disagreements on Israel's security have occurred irrespective of whether Israel's prime minister was from the left or right, or whether the US president was a Republican or Democrat, he remarked "none of these disagreements led to a rupture in the relationship between Israel and the United States."

America’s survival depends on Israel’s.
Where else would America receive it’s intelligence on the ME?
Very classy. We have nothing like this here.
When addressing our Congress, he'll be the only man in the room, that is for sure.
” Muslim Marxist gay illegal alien.”
Ad white-hating
Unless Kim Kardashian is standing next to him while he's making his speech, it'll be way too boring for any liberal to tune into and watch.
Yes, and 0bama wants him to stay home, to ensure Israel’s destruction.
You can say Jew hater in FR, but not ****** hater without being cryptic ?
Because Jew is descriptive word and ****** is a slur.
semantics ... those familiar, use it descriptively and the Jew haters use THEIRS as a slur ... have you never seen those joooos ?
What?
The MSM and C Span are not carrying his speech live?
God will assure Israel’s survival. The U.S., not so much.
Clearly, Folks. Clearly, Isreal has uncovered some intelligence that will likely be similar to when Cuba was building ICBM missles in the 1960s.
I think they know that Obama has been conducting talks with Iran that has not included Israel’s well being.
I would love for him to address congress and blow the lid off this facade of Obama’s. I mean catch him red handed.
There is no doubt in my mind that’s what’s going on, and Obama is going to have a red face when the proof, in the form of photographs is shown to the US public.
Jooo is a slur. Jew is not.
He can't wait two weeks until after the election?

I don't think Israel has ever had the real support of the American Government, the people yes, not the government.
