Today, U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint meeting of Congress:

Chairman McCaul: "Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a powerful speech and a compelling argument for why the Iran nuclear deal is dangerous for the national security of both Israel and the United States. The Prime Minister is correct, ISIS and Iran are competing for the crown of militant Islam, we cannot allow either to succeed in its goal. I continue to stand with Israel against what is most certainly a bad deal for the U.S., Israel, and the security of the entire Middle East region and call for President Obama to recognize the threat for what it is."
