last week boehner announced he had invited netanyahu. he explained his rationale in an intervoo with "60 minutes." >> there's nobody in the world that can talk about the threat of radical terrorism, nobody can talk about the threat that the iranians pose, not just to the middle east and to israel, or longest ally, but the entire world than bb netanyahu. this problem is growing all over the world. the president is trying to act like it's not there. but it is there. and it's going to be a threat to our homeland if we don't address it in a bigger way. >> netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of congress march 3rd, two days after the u.s.-israel apac convenes in washington where they do a lot of lobbying on the hill and two weeks before netanyahu's party stands for parliamentary elections in israel. the white house said it had not been informed of the invitation prior to its being made, describing it as, quote, a departure from protocol. and one official is saying, we thought we've seen everything. but bb managed to surprise even

this is a world leader. >> bb netanyahu -- let me just tell you one last thing, eric. remember, there's an election in israel coming up. it's the u.s. policy that we don't get involved in other countries' elections. >> hold on guys. this is what it's all about. i know you want to weigh in. michelle, here is what it's all about. netanyahu supported mitt romney and mitt romney's request to get the white house last time against barack obama. this is pay back. am i wrong. >> netanyahu wants to work with the president but the president doesn't want to work with him. he is being petty and refuses to meet with him. can i just say i cannot disagree with juan and wayne any more than i already do. i mean it's ridiculous, the idea that we're going to meet with the muslim brotherhood sympathizers. that is legitimizing them, giving testimony credence and it's a slap in the face to all of our allies who are trying to work with us to stop the muslim brotherhood and muslim extremism. >> eric, think about the check bev we've cut to the middle east to support these ram shack tribal lead

mike, you said some democrat also be applausing a netanyahu position on iran. is senator bob menendez from new jersey. let's listen to what he said about the president's comments about iran in the state of the union. >> i have to be honest with you, the more i hear from the administration and its quotes the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of tehran. and it feeds to the iranian narrative of victimization. when they are the ones with original sin. an elicit nuclear weapons program going back over the course of 20 years, that they are unwilling to come clean on. >> phyllis, there's senator menendez accusing the white house, his phrase using talking points coming out of tehran. that sounds like something beneath the dignity of ted cruz. >> there's no dignity here. you know lawrence, there's nothing dignified about these kinds of attacks. what they're trying to do is make a partisan gesture out of an incredibly dangerous foreign policy move. what we're talking about here we're going to be seeing netanyahu in the congress two days after the

a lot of people who used to work for and with netanyahu who are against this.hy are they against it? because it's creating a rift between israel and the united states. as prime minister he has two jobs essentially. one is to protect the security of israel and to protect the relationship with the united states, not just with the president but also with congress. and this week you see democratic senators running away from what apec wants, which is a sanctions built sign before negotiations. so it's blowing up when -- >> so you think it's hurting their hard-line ambitions? >> in both places in israel and washington. >> eugene something about this seems wrong. when i worked for the speaker, there was always a coalescing. thatcher or somebody would come. either the president would ask for or -- always something done together. >> this is not the way it happened. israel is one of the closest allies of the united states. that's the way it has been. that's the way it will continue. >> for both parties. >> but the prime minister of israel is a foreign leader and you don'

we understand that netanyahu has said that palestine is not a state. that is why this investigation and this probe is absurd. he said that israeli civilians have withstood hundreds, even thousands of rockets being fired from palestinian territoryies in gaza at their neighborhoods and at their areas and cities, and should not be probed. netanyahu has also said that his army is one of the most moral armies of the world and that's why he thinks its absurd that now this army, the country and the actions of israeli citizens are being probed. now we also know that the netanyahu has the u.s. support on this, the u.s. administration has condemned this icc probe even though it's a preliminary probe that could eventually lead to one of a more full investigation if the findings of the initial to be merit an investigation. this could go on for a long time but i think what we can see is the israeli government is taking this probe very seriously. we also feel that for a while netanyahu is going to be criticizeing this probe talking about it, maybe even to death to g

look at the way he's treated netanyahu. early in the administration long before any of this he had netanyahu leave the white house by a rear entrance the way that they have reacted whenever there's been some kind of argument over policy they immediately have made it a personal issue. and i think that's -- when you allow that to intrude -- remember, the mission that a president has is to defend and advance the national interests of the united states. and when it becomes a personal thing that gets in the way, israel is our strongest ally in the region democratic and committed to the west. iran has been responsible the deaths of thousands of americans in iraq and afghanistan. the state department itself said it's the largest biggest exporter of terrorism in the world and obama treats with utmost respect and treats israel, our ally with none. >> in the meantime iran, as you write in your column this week is on the march. this issue israel is so concerned and we say we are so concerned is greater than just iranian-israeli relati

netanyahu has been tense and difficult.ppen here once we got to where we are is -- or to where we were once the invitation became public was the president needed to kind of put on his big boy pants and say, well, we'll welcome the prime minister to washington and i'll look forward to meeting with him. that might have been smart from the president's point of view because if prime minister netanyahu was facing after his speech to congress a visit with the president, he probably would have been a little loathe even indirectly criticize capitol hill knowing he was going to sit down with the president within the next day or so. >> good point. >> but the president obviously got annoyed. and the men around him -- or men and women around him we don't know who this unnamed official was, just who said these things about ron dermer and do you remember megyn earlier a senior administration official quoted as saying that benjamin netanyahu was a chicken feed although she didn't say feed. so this is more of the same kind of thing that's

they're not going to meet netanyahu. the chief of staff said, you know, we can all live beyond this. but beneath that layer, there's an awful lot of consternation with netanyahu and john boehner. >> and let's talk about the angle with hezbollah, these hostilities across the border with lebanon. hezbollah being a group that is heavily sponsored by iran. the prime minister netanyahu, blaming hezbollah for these hostilities between them saying it's iran that's potential for yesterday's attack against us from lebanon. this is the same iran that's now trying to achieve an agreement via the major powers, et cetera. now even trying to use this military adventure or excursion that's happened between the two of them at yet another lever against making a deal. >> well israel is expected to have been behind attack recently in syria. they haven't officially accepted responsibility for it. that probably knocked out a major shipment of missiles from syria to hezbollah that it would then use against israel. in that an iranian general w

netanyahu, who is there. tell us what is happening there. >> indeed, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrived at the kosher market at 1:00 local time along with the minister of foreign affairs. when they arrived here, their convoys stopped just in front of the kosher supermarket. they met with the local mayor and spoke with the president of the local jewish community. since then they have been quietly walking up and down a few minutes in front of the market. in honor of the four members who lost their lives in the hostage situation on friday. hundreds of people have been coming out and gathering as close as they could to the supermarket. as you can see a heavy police presence was armored vehicles cordoning off the entire area. behind the police, you can see scores of people chanting as president netanyahu got out of his car. anthems and hymns are being sung, saying that france will live on. it goes with a lot of the posters we see lying around here. the tributes, as they say "i am charlie, i am jewis

when the president clearly didn't want netanyahu to address congress.sident obama poke congress in the eye saturday night saying no matter what you decide, i'll veto it if it has to do with sanctions in iran, especially when we know sanctions on iran work and congress would likely recommend imposing sanctions. the poke goes from the president to congress, not the other way around. i think it's the right thing to do. and i think the president should be meeting with netanyahu, and i believe he's not, isn't that true? >> he is not. he's gone on the record. >> he might change his mind. this is a heat of the moment frustration. we should have the same goal. of course i think the president should meet with the prime minister of ooerzisrael if we're going to continue to have the strong relationship with them that we want and i think israel wants, we should be able to put aside the logistical details of how an invitation was offered. now, last week when prime minister david cameron of the uk was here, president obama asked him, and he talked about it in the pre

this is less an issue about precedence we know that netanyahu has addressed congress before. house speaker boehner says it's not a finger in the eye. but is there any other way of thinking about it when the white house is the last to know? >> congress is a co-equal branch with the presidency. and if anything we have not seen congress acting enough. the matter at hand the negotiations with iran are an issue where the united states is at odds with many of our allies not just israel. >> do you agree with that that this is a healthy development, and that congress needs to assert itself on diplomatic relation shims with iran. >> to say that the united states is at odds with israel is just wrong. passing new sanctions at this point would be counter product ty. the problem is not inviting netanyahu to speak, it's not even not informing the white house, although that's bad form. it's the idea that u you're inviting a foreign leader to come specifically to attack the president. if if if. >> and it steams like this was pretty thought out. this isn't just an aside, but this does appear

and what would you like to ask the panel about the dust-up over the netanyahu visit. and just go to fox news sunday and we may use your question on the air. >>> i don't believe i'm poking anyone in the eye. there is a serious threat that exists in the world and the president last night kind of paved over it. >> the speaker announcing his decision to invite netanyahu to address congress in march without notifying the white house. and it is time for our sunday group. columnist ron will ron fournier of the journal. fox contributor liz cheney and kmarlz lane, journalist. was the speaker wrong or netanyahu wrong to accept the invitation. >> neither were wrong. this is foreign policy. second, the president has gone out of his way to show disdain for congress for foreign and domestic policy and for netanyahu in particular. it was made the point in the weekly standard today that it is not good protocol to have mr. cameron lobby our congress about policy he favors -- >> let me quickly point out. cameron called members of congress saying don't pass a sanctions bill threatening

to bring netanyahu here he wants to go directly to the american people.to congress directly and to the american people to make an appeal as to what should happen going forward. as far as i can tell the administration has concluded there is no military solution to enforcing what we want in iran which is for them not to have nuclear capabilities. they don't believe there is a military solution. netanyahu is going to make the case and i think powerfully. >> the administration today said it was a breach of protocol for the house speaker to invite netanyahu without telling the white house. >> i thought that was interesting because it is clear from the reference that laura gave the relationship with netanyahu is terrible. and to exacerbate it by actually making more waves about the protocol breached by the house speaker really makes no sense at this point. the best thing to do is put a big smile on and say everyone looks forward to meeting when he comes to washington. it is true there is growing bipartisan support for additional sanctions on iran. you saw the p
