Will the White House push back, or spin this as if it doesn't contradict what they have been saying for years?
I think we have already seen the answer to that question.
I can't wait to see how J-Street will try to spin this, though, in light of their new website. Someone should ask Jeremy Ben mi what he considers a red line beyond which the US must not accept a deal. His evasion should be funny to watch.
