Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, campaigning on Super Tuesday, addressed the American Israel Public Affairs this morning by satellite, both calling for a stronger U.S. posture toward Iran and vowing to be a better friend to Israel than President Obama if elected.

Under Obama, Romney argued, the administration created daylight between the U.S. and Israel, which made the Palestinians think they could avoid negotiations with Israel and seek statehood directly with the United Nations.
