WASHINGTON, D.C. - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH), Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), and Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN) issued the following statement after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"We are pleased to welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu back to the United States.  We enjoyed a candid discussion of the challenges that confront his country and the need for America to remain a faithful ally in Israel's effort to achieve security and peace.

"We look forward to continuing that dialogue, particularly as Israel struggles to maintain its sovereignty in a part of the world where peace remains elusive.  Key to this effort is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.  A nuclear-free Iran is essential for Israel's safety and our own, and seeking to engage in direct talks with Iran at a time when its government has pledged to destroy Israel is an option that must be taken off the table.  As we have learned from history, peace comes through strength, and as we always have, the United States will stand with Israel."
