It was almost the same tone as taken by secretary of state kerry and un ambassador samantha power. The Prime Minister of israel is welcome to speak in the United States. Obviously we are not you know, we dont want to see this turned into some great political football. Talks agreement no agreement. The United States will take whatever steps are necessary to protect our National Security and that of our closest allies.
