Pelosi, Boehner Remarks Before Meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

“The last time I saw him was in Jerusalem — last May — when we were observing the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel. I told him then and just recently on the 61st anniversary by phone, that the establishment of the State of Israel was the shining, the beacon of light in the 20th century. A great, great political accomplishment.”
