Jewish Leaders Seek Positives in U.S.-Israel Ties
(Jerusalem Post) Jordana Horn - After President Obama's speech on Middle East policy and Prime Minister Netanyahu's U.S. visit, Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told the Jerusalem Post: "I think everybody would like to move beyond the tensions and controversy of the past week." Watching Netanyahu's address to Congress on Tuesday, Hoenlein said he was pleasantly surprised by the cross-the-aisle applause for the prime minister: "It was a spontaneous expression of affinity and support for Israel." Netanyahu's reception in Congress "was a really amazing day and something that can only happen in the United States."
