In regard to Boehners boner of breaking protocol and inviting Netanyahu to speak before the congress and senate in March: Former Israeli ambassador: Netanyahu should cancel his speech to Congress Former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren has made things slightly more difficult for Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu and House Speaker John Boehner regarding Netanyahus upcoming speech to Congress (which takes place two weeks before Israels elections). Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel his upcoming address to Congress, scheduled for March 3, Haaretz writes. Oren, an American-born Israeli who served as envoy to Washington under Netanyahu from 2009 to 2013, reportedly said House Speaker John Boehners invitation to the Israeli premier and the subsequent behavior involved created the impression of a cynical political move, and it could hurt out attempts to act against Iran. Its advisable to cancel the speech to Congress so as not to cause a rift with the American government, Oren added. Much responsibility and reasoned political behavior are needed to guard interests in the White House.
