Dianne Feinstein: Benjamin Netanyahu ‘Arrogant’ For Claiming To Speak For All Jews

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday that it was “arrogant” for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to presume to speak for all Jews on a potential nuclear deal between the United States and Iran.

Netanyahu has defended his upcoming speech to Congress on Iran in part by saying that he feels like he is an “emissary of all Israelis, even those who disagree with me, of the entire Jewish people.”

Obama has said that he will not meet with Netanyahu during the visit because of its proximity to the Israeli elections, set for March 17. While some members of Congress have said that they will skip the speech, Netanyahu plans to meet with a bipartisan group of Senate leadership afterward.
