Why Tim Kaine's Decision to Skip Netanyahu's Speech Could Resonate for Years
Feb 25, 2015
Virginia's senator takes a rare, progressive-friendly position on Israel.
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine has joined the Democrats
who'll skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March speech to a
joint session of Congress. "There is no reason to schedule this speech
before Israeli voters go to the polls on
March 17 and choose their own
leadership," Kaine
said in a statement,
after describing how he'd worked to delay the event. "I am disappointed
that, as of now, the speech has not been postponed. For this reason, I
will not attend the speech."
