Seems that Obama knew before Bibi accepted but now the NYT times has quietly put out this correction: Correction: January 30, 2015 An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before.

The PM should not change anything. He should have given the speech in February instead of postponing to March. He can still revert it to February. He can forget Aipac which is irrelevant. What is most vital is Congress.

Arrogant, pushy, meddling, dishonest. Tribal

It's obvious to anyone that this is an Obama manufactured "crisis" meant to punish Bibi and elect a more dovish Israeli governemnt that will "give away" Israel's security and dance to Obama's fiddle. The issue of Israel's security is bigger than Obama and bigger than political protocal. Bibi: Make your case. Give it your best. If Iran presents an untenable "threat level" to Israel - and it's not hard to make that case given what they have said and the fact that their surrogates have been at war with Israel for 40 years - then it is YOUR DUTY to make the case!!! It is Obama who is driving a wedge down the middle of the Democratic party. Obama represents the radical left, the Muslims and the others in the Democrtatic party who think Israel is the "problem". The other half of the Democratic party is pro-Israel and struggling to keep the party line. These are the people yoiu need to convince.

Don't change a damn thing to appease democrat jackasses in congress. If you go behind closed doors Mr. Y, your credibility will go down the drain with the American people that respect you. Don't do it. Be a man with a backbone now. Facts are facts, obama doesn't like you, he does not like Israel, you will never change that fact. You make him angry because you tell the truth, and you will not do what he tells you to do. So be it. Be a man now, the man The God of Israel wants you to be. Speak the truth and shed light to a dimming by the day America, and the rest of the world.

Netanyahu showed himself a failed leader in war and peace. A megalomaiac egotist who is damaging Israel's image daily. I knew he would cancel his speech to Congress because it is not a rational thing to do. He is over the deep end.

He's finally gauging the mood against the cost at the polls, especially after Obama stops using his veto to prevent anti Israel resolutions. He's trying to find a toning down that will prevent his much tarnished image from being ridiculed in public, without having to face the wrath of his far right nutter coalition partners.

I am pity our Primer Minister precarious situation: it;s bad to go on with the speech and it is bad to cancel it. Here is the simple way out: go out Mr. Netanyahu, I mean really: your bully and brainless policies put the country in the corner and with your resignation everybody (except you, Naftali and couple of you other friends) would be able breath easy and move forward.

I do not understand why YNET gives access to its pages to vulgar foul-mouthed oafs like Solomon Balas

YOu israelis have a societal problem of producing anemic weak leaders. Who offers concessions before you get to the table and before the other side agrees to some as well-lapid, herzog livni and bibi as well offers one sided concession for so called peace shmease. Who backpedals immediately when obama pushes back- livni, lapid and herzog along with ynet journalists run for the hills,. Not to leavehim out,bibi isnow backpedalling on the format of his speech as he tries to appease obama. This could lose him the election. Who in ttheir right mind would offer the golan to assad- an emotional basket case- livni What country has no confidence in itself and has to have the tether attached to big USA- livni, herzog, and lapid and bibi to a large extent as well. Because of the holocaust, jewish parents overcompensated by spoililng their kids and producing a crop of silver spoon gutless babies for the most part now mlks,journ alists and others. Who sued for early ceasefires in gaza before hamas did,-bibi backed by livni, lapid, herzog and sadly yaalon. Lieberman and bennett were theonly ones pushing for a real change in the situation. So useless calm for calm lasting maybe 60 days did little for israel. So what to do. Don't listen to ynet and haaretz and the others. Vote for realists with some guts vote for bennet, vote for kulano,. Don't vote for bibi, lapid, llivni and herzog!

Bibi; do not buckle under pressure. Speak to America and the world! Everyone needs to hear the truth about nuclear Iran and the necessity of doing whatever it takes to stop it. Don't give in to pressure from the mad child Democratic leader and idiotic leftist Jews. Do what must be done!

How much congress will pay Bibi? Congress needs more insight into Iran nuke and they want reliable source for that to support their policies else the whole America will be ridicule if their decisions not based on facts in this era of social media and talkbackers. Bibi is not comedian invited to entertain America congress. Working papers that speech may produced.

Bibi will not only speak he will bring the House down! ( on top of flop obamas head.) MORE BUILDING = MORE JEWS !!

man is like a majority. May G-D help and inspire Bibi to do what is right.

the title is an untrue 'tease.' Bibi will speak and bring down the house while obama sulks and sux his thumb ) !!! MORE BUILDING !!!

Not only wont Bibi cancel his speech it's being recorded for eternity as obama hides in the closet. KEEP BUILDING !!!

An invitation is not a bill or a payment, it is an invite which obama saves for the likes of rev. Al Sharpton owing the IRS 4.6 million dollars, and of other unnamed Muslim 'leaders'. SAY ON BIBI BABY AS ISRAEL BUILDS!!
