Zionist Union: Netanyahu destroying US-Israel relationship for sake of few votes

Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog lashed out again at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday for his planned speech to Congress on Tuesday. 

 

The speech, which has been the subject of criticism in Israel and the US, will focus on the agreement on Iran's nuclear program currently being drafted by the US and other world powers.

 

Speaking in a studio interview at Ynet, Herzog said: "There is no dispute about the Iranian threat, but the speech will not help and not change anything, but just could cause damage. Netanyahu is destroying (our) American alliance for a few votes at the ballot box."

 

The joint party's number two, Tzipi Livni also weighed in, saying that, "Netanyahu is destroying the relationship with the United States."
