Andrea Mitchell to Bibi: ‘Why Should President Obama Trust You’ After That Speech?

‘... when you came to Congress to lobby against his negotiations with Iran?’

MITCHELL: “Why should President Obama trust you when you came to Congress to lobby against his negotiations with Iran?” 
NETANYAHU: “I think there’s an unbreakable bond between the Israel and the United States. The president has said that, I’ve said that.” 
MITCHELL: “But what about between you and Barack Obama?” 
NETANYAHU: “Well, I think that is reflected in the relationship between the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel. We have — we can have differences, but we have so many things that unite us, and we have a situation in the Middle East that is very dangerous and presents a common challenge to us.”
MITCHELL: “Has he called you yet to congratulate you on your victory?” 
NETANYAHU: “Secretary Kerry called me yesterday, and I’m sure I’ll be speaking to President Obama soon. We’ll work together. We have to. We have our differences on Iran. By coming to the U.S. I didn’t mean any disrespect or any attempt at partisanship. I was merely speaking, Andrea, of something that I view could endanger the survival of Israel and I felt it’s my obligation to speak up there, but there’s so many areas that we have to — we must work together, will work together with the United States and with the president because we have no — no other alternative. We’re allies. We have to consult each other. Not have fiats or unilateral imposition, but negotiated peace with our neighbors and support between allies, and America has no greater ally than Israel, and Israel has no greater ally than the United  States of America.”
