Boycott threat or shared interest in stopping Iran?

The Algemeiner is reporting that French President Francois Hollande will address the Knesset during his trip here next week. It had previously been reported that Hollande would not address the Knesset, causing speaker Yuli Edelstein to post on his Facebook page that he would boycott Hollande's visit.

The Algemeiner implies that Hollande's apparent change of heart is due to Edelstein's boycott threat. I would guess that France's newly discovered joint interest with Israel in stopping Iran has a lot to do with Hollande's decision.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
