Yoram Ettinger:

“At the same time that Secretary of State John Kerry negotiates with Iran [and] holds Iran as a credible partner to negotiation, Iran holds “’Death to America’” Day, commemorating the 1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy.”
 
“Personally, If I were to advise Prime Minister Netanyahu or any global leader, I would advise to avoid preconditioning a visit to Washington upon the willingness of the Executive Branch to hold a meeting. It seems to me that any foreign leader should be aware that with all the respect of the Executive Branch, it’s one of three branches which are co-equal, and co-determining.  It seems to me that there’s no more authentic representative of the American people than the House of Representatives and the Senate.”
