Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced his fierce opposition to Iran’s nuclear program in front of a joint session of Congress Tuesday, a speech in which he said the world’s greatest danger is the meeting of militant Islam with nuclear weapons.
Upon introduction, Netanyahu was greeted to deafening applause in US House chamber, an ovation that crescendoed when the prime minister took the podium.
“I know my speech has been the subject of much controversy,” he said, adding that it was “never my intention” to be political.
The prime minister was invited by Republican lawmakers who bypassed the White House and State Department, ruffling more than a few political feathers in the US capital. Based largely on the break in protocol for a head-of-state visit, US President Barack Obama has refused to meet the Israeli PM during his visit, while Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry are both abroad.
