Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “opened his high-profile visit to the American capital by playing down any personal dispute with President Obama, but he said that he had a ‘moral obligation’ to warn against the dangers of an American-brokered nuclear deal with Iran,” the New York Times reports.
Said Netanyahu: “My speech is not intended to show any disrespect to President Obama or the esteemed office that he holds. I have great respect for both.”
