Netanyahu stands by plans to address Congress next month

“We have a profound disagreement with the United States administration and the rest of the P5+1 over the offer that was made to Iran. This offer will enable Iran to threaten Israel’s survival,” Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

A group of Democratic lawmakers in both the House and Senate are considering boycotting Netanyahu’s address, and several, including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I–VT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), have already announced they won’t attend.
