Netanjahu – Wrong Speech at the Wrong Place

“It is the wrong speech at the wrong place”, declares Stefan Liebich, spokesman of DIE LINKE group in the Foreign Committee in regard to the controversial appearance of Israel Minister President Benjamin Netanjahu before the U.S. Congress. Liebich further:

“The speech of Israeli Minister President before the U.S. Congress is an affront. Netanjahu compromises efforts of the U.S. administration by President Barack Obama to reach a solution for the Iranian nuclear programme conflict. The demands of the Israeli election campaigner for more sanctions or even military measures against Iran may be delightful to some republicans in Senate or House of Representatives – but it means playing with fire. The close collaboration between republicans and the agitator from Israel worries all those that bank on a peaceful solution for the Middle East.”
