Collins Issues Statement on Netanyahu Address

9th District U.S. Representative Doug Collins is calling Tuesday’s speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a powerful warning to the American people about a potential nuclear deal with Iran.

Collins released his statement, after attending Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday.

In his statement, Collins says America must not give Iran’s radical leaders, making belligerent statements even now, during the Administration’s nuclear negotiations, any flexibility to develop more weapons.

Collins says Iran’s commitment to destroying free democracies near and far is the reason the House passed – and the President signed – 2014’s U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act.

According to Collins, Israel is truly on the front line of the fight against terrorism, and at a time when radical Islam, both Iran and ISIS, is on the march, America should not seek hasty peace deals, like the one the Administration is proposing, but re-commit to common defense of both the U.S. and Isreal.
