The following is a transcript from Tuesday's White House briefing with press secretary Jay Carney:
Q Jay, can you speak to this report that the President -- there’s a draft of the speech floating around that says the President will urge Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders --
MR. CARNEY: Yes, I can. That report is completely false. We have not shared a draft of the speech with anyone outside of the administration.
Q Will he talk about, for example, the 1967 borders?
MR. CARNEY: I don’t want to get into the specifics of his discussion at all. But I can tell you that no one outside of this administration has been shown a draft of the speech.
Q So that report is inaccurate in that it says that there’s a draft copy of the speech.
MR. CARNEY: Well, a report that says that it has specifics about a speech based on a draft that doesn’t exist -- I don’t have any comment on the content of a draft that doesn’t exist, because no draft has been shared with anyone outside of the administration.
