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 "Israel’s survival is not a partisan issue, not in Israel nor in the United States. This doesn’t 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 Israel’s 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) Eshkol’s decisions at the start of the Six Day War, Prime Minister (Menachem) Begin’s decision regarding the nuclear reactor in Iraq, and Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon’s 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."

Whether he loses his election in Israel or not, he should speak directly to the American people, through their representatives, assembled.
So damn glad he won’t back down. I didn’t believe he would either!
BUMP
REALLY lookin’ forward to THIS youtube
Showdown:
David vs the antiSemitic Islamist impostor as Goliath.
Emasculating (defeminating?) Obama’s presidency is necessary to ensure Israel’s survival.
I love how he addresses all his criticisms with logical and correct answers.
He was invited and he has the right speak to Congress.
Good. Sick of wimps.
Bravo Netanyahu! The World is entering into a new phase of anti-Semitisim, Israel needs brave leaders right now.
Go Bibi God bless him!
A lot of their reps won’t be there though because they are boycotting it because they are Jew hating terror supporting psychopaths that those people were stupid enough to vote for.
Allegedly.
Oh yeah!
Pray for Israel and America.
Might be a good idea for Netyanhu to have some quiet back door channels to Walker, Cruz, Rubio, and maybe the “Big Man” in Jersey... Bush will wear thin and not be a factor, I predict.
