According to a New York times correction, Netanyahu only accepted the invitation to speak before Congress after he made sure the White House knew about the invitation and had no objection.
(h/t: TOI)
In their own words:
Correction: January 30, 2015 An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before.
So all this outrage at Netanyahu, about him meddling, about him trying to make Obama look bad, about him harming US-Israel relations... it is all a fraud. Netanyahu was set-up. The crisis is one of th eUS-making, not Netanyahu. The White House let Netanyahu accept the invitation and then screamed bloody murder after he did. I think Netanyahu even should be commended for not selling Obama down the river and exposing all this after Obama threw his hissy fit.
