JP UPDATES – U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will hold a conference call on Monday with American Jewish community leaders in an effort to sell the nuclear agreement reached with Iran, according to an email sent out by WH Jewish liaison Matt Nosanchuk.
The call is scheduled to take 45 minutes, according to details obtained by JP.
On Thursday, the White House’s Deputy National Security Advisor, Ben Rhodes, met with some 15 Jewish lawmakers in the Situation Room to update them and clarify the president’s position that signing the deal was the best option.
“People felt that the Administration is intent on very seriously addressing the concerns of the Jewish members, which many of them centered around Israel and the security of Israel,” Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois) said after the meeting. She added that there were enough Democrats in Congress to support the bill allowing the president to overcome opposition by Republican lawmakers.
No Pollard release!
Jewish community leaders? Plural? More than one? Won’t Biden get confused? Why don’t they delegate just one of them to give him the bullet points?
Biden will be president in 2016!
