But the Voice of Israel radio also reported he had "moderated" the text in recent hours. Mr Netanyahu was greeted with whoops and cheers as he made his way to the podium, shaking hands as he went.
He insisted the Israel-US relationship "must remain above politics" and that he was "grateful for the support of the American people".

The country was on a "march of conquest, subjugation and terror", he said.
"Iran's regime is as radical as ever, the ideology is deeply rooted in militant Islam... it will always be an enemy of US".
Its participation in the battle against Islamic State, he said, did not make it a friend: "This enemy of your enemy is your enemy."
Mr Netanyahu received a standing ovation as his speech ended.
