WASHINGTON — White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough on Sunday downplayed reports that the White House was furious with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for accepting an invitation from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to address Congress about the dangers of negotiating with Iran.

Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry appeared to undermine Boehner and Netanyahu by publicly revealing that an Israeli intelligence official had told a U.S. congressional delegation that new sanctions would be like “throwing a grenade” into the negotiating process.
