Cantor: Obama not ‘true friend’ of Israel

September 23, 2009

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The only Jewish Republican in Congress said President Obama does not seem to be a “true friend” of Israel.

In an interview with Politico, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said he was opposed to Obama’s “disproportionate focus” on a settlement freeze instead of dealing with the “existential threat” to Israel from Iran.

“If you look at the policy that this White House has followed, it certainly does not seem as if we are dealing with a true friend” of Israel, Cantor said in the interview.
