Washington (CNN) Sen. John McCain says he is "convinced" Obama is letting his personal problems with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu get in the way of shared policy goals. 
 
 "The President should get over it. Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President," the Arizona Republican said Sunday in an interview with CNN's Gloria Borger on "State of the Union." 
 
 "It's time that we work together with our Israeli friends and try to stem this tide of ISIS and Iranian movement throughout the region, which is threatening the very fabric of the region," he said. 
 
 "The President has his priorities so screwed up that it's unbelievable," McCain said. 
 
 Obama has taken issue with Netanyahu's comments leading up to Israel's election that there will be no Palestinian state on his watch. The President told The Huffington Post last week that it is now "going to be hard to find a path where people are seriously believing that negotiations are possible." 
 
 When asked by Borger about Obama's consideration of signing a U.N. resolution calling for a Palestinian state, McCain said it should be completely off the table. 
 
 "Of course he shouldn't be considering it. And, second of all, if he does that, then -- and it would be approved by the U.N., then the United States Congress would have to examine our funding for the United Nations," McCain said. "It would be a violation because of the President's anger over a statement by Bibi, by the prime minister of Israel. It would contradict American policy for the last at least 10 presidents of the United States." 
 
 McCain said Obama needs to move past his hurt feelings -- both to work toward peace in the region and to cooperate with Israel in addressing Iran's growing influence in the region. 
 
 "The least of your problems are what Bibi Netanyahu said in a political campaign," McCain said. "It pales in significance to the situation which continues to erode throughout the Middle East and it puts America at risk." 
 
 Democratic Rep. Steve Israel of New York said on policy issues, the United States and Israel is strong -- so "who cares" about the "the hype and the drama of personalities." 
 
 "What counts is, are we providing Israel with the critical security equipment technology that they need? And on that, we are," Israel said on "State of the Union." 
 
 What counts, and what we need to do, is get back to the fundamentals and stop with all the drama," he said. ||||| Sen. Ted Cruz Ted CruzSanders: Dems are not always right Sanders wins Maine caucuses Michigan congressman endorses Kasich MORE (R-Texas), who is expected to declare his intention to run for president on Monday, is "absolutely unfit" to run for office because of his views on climate change, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) said Sunday. 
 
 Brown was asked on NBC's "Meet The Press" about Cruz's comments on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" that "many of the alarmists on global warming, they've got a problem, because the science doesn't back them up." 
 
 "What he said is absolutely false," Brown said — adding that the vast majority of climate scientists believe that climate change is man-made. He said that climate change had contributed to both California's drought and record snowfalls in parts of the Northeast. 
 
 "So, it’s climate disruption of many different kinds," Brown added. "And that man betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of scientific data. It’s shocking and I think that man has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office." 
 
 Brown also said that if he were 10 years younger, he might be running for president himself. 
 
 Cruz is reportedly planning to announce he is running for president in 2016 during a Monday appearance at Virginia's Liberty University. He is expected to run by courting the party's conservative base instead of trying to become the first choice of moderate voters. ||||| House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sunday dinged President Obama's response to the reelection of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

 "I will tell you that, from the president and the administration, they're trying to make this about the prime minister, Netanyahu," McCarthy said on CBS's "Face the Nation." 
 
 "It's not about him, it's not about the administration. This is about the mutual concern we have for Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon," McCarthy said. 
 
 "This administration should be better than this," McCarthy said, adding that given Netanyahu's reelection, the U.S. should build upon its "unique" relationship with Israel "instead of trying to make it personal." 
 
 Republicans have criticized the White House's response to Netanyahu's reelection this week, underscored by escalating tensions over his vocal opposition to a potentially unsatisfactory deal over Iran's nuclear program, which faces a preliminary deadline at the end of the month. 
 
 In an interview released Saturday, Obama sought to play down the significant of Netanyahu's reelection, saying it wouldn't have "a significant impact" on selling a potential deal to the public or Congress. 
 
 Obama also cited his congratulatory call to Netanyahu two days after the election to signal he would not brush off the Israeli leader's pre-election promise to not allow a Palestinian state, which he later walked back. 
 
 "We take him at his word when he said that it wouldn't happen during his prime ministership," Obama told The Huffington Post. 
 
 "The president should get over it," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, adding Obama should get over his "temper tantrum."
– President Obama pulled no punches in his blunt assessment of Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign rhetoric, and John McCain is today taking his own jabs at Obama. Appearing this morning on CNN, he said, "The president should get over it. Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President." He dismissed Obama's priorities in the region as "so screwed up that it's unbelievable," dismissed Netanyahu's comments as "the least of your problems," and dismissed Obama's consideration of a UN resolution backing a Palestinian state—except to threaten it, saying, "then the United States Congress would have to examine our funding for the United Nations." He continued: "It's time that we work together with our Israeli friends and try to stem this tide of ISIS and Iranian movement throughout the region, which is threatening the very fabric of the region."
