ISRAEL: Teabaggers Meet Privately With Netanyahu Over Nuclear Accord With Iran

The Christian Post reports:

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins led seven members of Congress known for their strong ties to evangelical Christians on a nine-day swing through Israel’s Holy Land earlier this month, touring the country’s most important religious sites and meeting with top-level Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The trip, sponsored by the U.S. Israel Education Association with grants from several Christian and Jewish organizations, included Congressmen Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.), Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.), Ted Poe (R-Texas) and Steve Scalise (R-La.). “Mr. Netanyahu, who was delayed in joining our group because he had been on the phone with President Obama, called the agreement a ‘historic mistake’ and we agree. The Israeli government does not feel western solutions are the right solutions for Middle Eastern Solutions,” Perkins said, in reference to lifting sanctions on Iran. The Prime Minister said Israel would not be bound by the six-month agreement made between Tehran and the U.S., also criticizing the Obama administration from keeping the negotiations a secret, even from America’s closest allies.

Perkins says that the United States only signed on to the deal because President Obama hopes to pass the problem along to his successor.
