There's been a subsequent clarification from Cantor's office:

Rep. Eric Cantor's office is clarifying a statement it put out last week about the meeting between Cantor, the likely next House Majority Leader, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Cantor spokesperson Brad Dayspring told The Washington Post that Cantor's comment to Netanyahu that the new Republican majority in the house 'will serve as a check on the Administration' was 'not in relation to U.S./Israel relations.'

Obviously, this is about a weak a statement as possible. Cantor still intends, based on what he said above, to serve Israel's interests in his role as an American congressman especially in order to work against his own president.
I'm surprised this issue isn't getting more attention.
