Speaker Boehner’s Press Office
Local Words of
Support for Netanyahu Address
“I am a resident of Ohio’s 8th district, and I am a senior at Lakota
East High School. I am writing to express my support of Israeli Prime
Minister Netanyahu’s (upcoming) address of Congress. … I want the prime
minister to know that members of the American public are aware of the
severity of the threat that Israel faces. If people do not stand up,
nothing will get done, and in this situation, the consequences could be
dire.”
-Rianna, Liberty Twp.
“A note to state how proud I am of you [for] making the invitation to
Prime Minister Netanyahu.”
-Thomas, Springfield
“In this dangerous world, his words [are] extremely important.”
-Pat, Tipp City
That’s what Ohioans in our area had to say about Prime Minister of
Israel Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech this week before a joint meeting of
Congress.
“This was a speech the American people needed to hear, plain and
simple,” said Congressman Boehner. “It addressed the gravity of
the threats we face and why we cannot allow a nuclear Iran, or any
semblance of a path to a nuclear Iran. It demonstrated why there
is such deep-seated – and bipartisan – concern about the deal that is
being made. I thank my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats, who
took the time to hear the Prime Minister’s address on behalf of their
constituents, and I hope all Americans will have the chance to see it
for themselves.”
Boehner personally thanked Prime Minister Netanyahu, noting that, “With
his presence here, he demonstrated that politics can never come before
our commitment to do what’s right for our future. And he again
revealed himself to be a leader of principle and deep conviction.
It all speaks not only to the kind of leader he is, but to the bonds
between America and Israel – bonds that will, with work and sacrifice,
long outlast us.”
