Walberg Responds to Netanyahu’s Address to Congress
March 3, 2015
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) released the following statement after attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress:
"Prime Minister Netanyahu's powerful words clearly articulated the grave threat posed by a nuclear Iran. The stakes could not be higher for Israel, the United States, and our allies if Iran develops a nuclear weapon. At moments like this, party politics must take a backseat to the safety and security of our people. I hope President Obama will stop sending mixed messages about America's longstanding and unwavering support for Israel and begin speaking with the same type of moral clarity that we heard today from Prime Minister Netanyahu."
Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg's work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
