Obama likely to meet Israel's Netanyahu in November, White House says

President Barack Obama will likely hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in early November, the White House said on Friday, their first meeting since U.S.-led diplomacy resulted in an Iran nuclear deal that Israel fiercely opposed. Efforts to arrange a White House visit by Netanyahu appear aimed at easing tensions between Washington and its closest Middle East ally now that Obama’s Democrats in the U.S. Senate have blocked...

The last time Israeli PM Netanyahu was here Obama didn't see too pleased about it.

Now Obama is inviting Netanyahu to the White house.

Thus far, I have had the feeling that Obama is not fond of Israel and Netanyahu. Wonder why he's all of the sudden feeling cordial?

Ok...I don't know why I always have one miss spelled word in my headlines. Why does this keep happening.?

Iran.

We'll see how this goes. It honestly could direct the course of the US-Israel relationship for many years.

Iran for sure. Obama has to assure Israel that we're serious about making them stick to the deal, that we'll vigorously defend Israel should things go south and that it's actually in Israel's best interests long-term.

It's too little to late. BHO probably realised how many people of the Jewish Faith are registered Democrats. This Iran Nuclear Deal is going to hurt the party. Oooops.

Maybe Netanyahu will learn not to disrespect the leader of the free world. I'm sure Iran will be discussed and I hope Netanyahu gets a strong warning about taking unilateral action.

This deal is not a bad one but it's better than war. That said, the defense contractors will be weeping bitter tears. No war, no big checks.

I'm sure there will be some friction but we have been allied with Israel for many different administration. If Israel Killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 onboard USS Liberty didn't destroy our relationship, this latest Politics wont. There will be some Posturing then the obligatory handshakes. They count on us to help fund their Socialist Welfare State and that isn't going to change soon.

Sgt Kelli Mays - Sergeant; One of the things that is almost certain to be on the agenda is Mr. Obama telling Mr. Netanyahu that the United States of America WILL NOT support a unilateral Israeli attack on Iran and WILL NOT veto any Security Council resolution condemning one.

The second thing on the agenda is likely to be Mr. Obama telling Mr.Netanyahu that the United States of America WILL defend Israel against any directly government sponsored attack on it.

Now that the Iranian government is officially on record as accepting that "The Holocaust" actually happened and also officially on record that "it shouldn't happen again" (Didn't you see that reported in your local media when it happened?) maybe we can start to stop confusing "The state of Israel will be eliminated." with "We are going to kill all the Jews.". After all, the United States of America has "eliminated" more than one "independent and sovereign country" without killing off all the inhabitants (think "Hawai'i" if you don't like thinking about the fact that many of the several Native American tribes had been recognized by the US government as independent and sovereign nations before their territory was wrested from them through military action so that the "Whites" could reap the benefits of that land).
