Bill O’Reilly tells Fox News Network viewers, “I want to hear what P.M. Netanyahu has to say on Iran”
• Chris Stirewalt Fox News’ political correspondent, said White House comments on Netanyahu’s invitation was just “too cute.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is very knowledgeable about Iran, and therefore it is appropriate for him to address Congress about Iran, Fox News political commentator Bill O’Reilly said on Tuesday.
As part of a segment on his show “The O’Reilly Factor,” the host expressed his disagreement with fellow Fox News senior correspondent Chris Wallace, who said last week that he was “shocked” by the way Netanyahu was invited to speak before Congress in March — by House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner without going through the White House, which by protocol is the body that invites foreign speakers to Congress.
