Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 31, 2014


WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman George Holding (NC-13) issued the following statement calling on President Obama and the administration official to issue an apology after disparaging comments were made about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“Earlier this week, an administration official criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu using profane language.  This is not how American officials should behave, especially to our ally, Israel. 

“Israel has stood by us.  Israel is our friend, and this is not how you treat friends.  The president and the official should issue an apology, and clear the air.”
