Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gives a shout out to Jeb Bush

Likely 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush gave his first speech on foreign policy yesterday in Chicago and told the audience that he was in favor of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to a joint session in Congress in March.

Jeb added, “I for one am really eager to hear what he has to say.”

Netanyahu responded to Jeb’s kind words of support with this:

Bush later responded:

Did Jeb just secure Netanyahu’s endorsement?
