Netanyahu's performance was for his own domestic audience, he is about to go into an election and needs to show that he potentially has at least got tacit support if not absolute backing of US Congress, everybody knows that he and the President don't get along, but this current President is a dead duck with a Congress he cannot control and the next US Presidential election scheduled for Tuesday, November 8, 2016. With a US Presidential election and more importantly selection of various Presidential candidates for both major parties coming up then I would very much doubt if any of the front runners would be sticking their heads above the parapet and commenting on the detail of this speech.
