Statement

Date: May 20, 2011
Location: New Iberia, LA
Issues: Foreign Affairs

Congressman Jeff Landry released the following statement after today's meeting between President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Once again, the President has chosen misguided politics over security. While conflicts escalate throughout the Middle East, we should be standing steadfast with one of our strongest allies - Israel. Instead, the President minimizes the real terrorist threats and wishes to undermine Israeli security. I reject the President's position to return to 1967 border lines. And I reaffirm my commitment to Israel and its safety."
