Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a few pool reporters in the White House Oval Office after meeting with President Barack Obama on Monday — consistent with Netanyahu’s past visits to the White House, but not consistent with the visits of several other world leaders who held full-blown joint press conferences with Obama in front of the entire White House press corps.
The White House schedule for Monday does not specify whether the two leaders – who have sometimes been at odds – will take questions from the foreign and domestic press. Considering Israel’s status as a major ally of the United States particularly in Middle Eastern affairs, the newly-announced U.S. dialogue with Iran and the international move to dismantle the Syrian chemical weapons arsenal, it would be curious if they don’t take questions.
But the lack of a big Q&A session isn’t nothing new when it comes to Netanyahu and his visits to the United States.
When Netanyahu visited the White House in 2009 and 2010, Obama and Netanyahu had limited press availabilities for the pooled reporters in the Oval Office, taking questions from the media.
On May 20, 2011 the two had an awkward meeting in the Oval Office that came shortly after Obama called for Israel to return to its 1967 borders. They didn’t take questions from the press.
Netanyahu visited the White House on March 5, 2012 where neither took questions from the press after making their statements in the Oval Office.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I think going be tense like before
I don’t think Obama like this Israel PM just sayin
“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse”
Genesis 12:3
I blame Obama. He behaves like he hates our ally Israel.
Obama lacks skill as a statesman. He has no idea how to give and take in compromise or negotiation. He look like an A Hole
Why Netanyahu comes over here at all is beyond me. When he comes over here, Obama does everything but piss on him. Them Obama undermines him in Israel every chance he gets. Why he bothers with Obama at all is beyond me. I would tell Obama to go straight to hell and carry Harry Reid under one arm and John Mc Cain under the other.
Least he isn’t treated like the Dali Lama and be forced to exit the back door along with the garbage.
What is the real end game here??????
Who is telling us truth and who is telling us lies?????
Lobbyists for Israel in the US as in AIPAC is supposedly headed by an “Obama bundler” who supports a president with big money and the payback will be a betrayal of Israel by Obama???????
Syria is on the table, Iran is on the table and as always “the Palestinians” are on the table.
Will the war in Syria drag on, will Iran be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons capability?????
Will there be more land for peace and a Palestinian state and if so who is signing off on it and why?
Obama gets the blame as he rightly does but are others in on the deal and trying to pass the blame to Obama.
AIPAC and Obama and Israel’s government through its Washington ambassador were in sync on bombing Syria recently.
Is there some sort of symmetry on Iran and more concessions of Jewish land “land for peace”?????
Will Netanyahu end up like Sharon and Rabin making concessions of land?????
Did Netanyahu have to use the back door again?
I would never have allowed a Llama inside in the first place, dolly or real.
.
That covenant was annulled, and the outcome fully matched prophecy.
He is not a statesman. He’s a community organizer, who’s MO is to throw tantrums and expect everyone to fall in with his demands. Like Greenpeace.
Not under Obama.
The US elected as commander in chief a communist who has allied this country with Muslim Brotherhood.
While Israel continues to have an firm ally in a remnant of the American people, the country as a whole has voted otherwise.
I fail to understand why Netanyahu even deals with Obama. He HAS to know Obama and his ilk want Israel destroyed?
Most Muzzies and collectivists hate Israel.
Now try to figure which one he is!
What do you mean....”looks like”?
Why does David Cameron deal with the EU, why does John Boehner deal with Barack Obama ?????
Bibi Netanyahu is a business as usual “mainstream” politician who knows about talking tough and acting not so tough.
Keep an eye out for future deals-concessions that Israel agrees to......
------------------------>
I'm wondering if Netanyahu goes to get a reading on Obama.
Obama is not even close to Netanyahu in intellect and experience and diplomacy.
IMHO, Netanyahu has to keep his eye always on B. Hussein O. This was not a meeting of equals.
Netanyahu is Israeli. Obama is a stealth Muslim.
Netanyahu may be trying to get the read of the Muslim/Islam states to see where Israel needs to bolster their security.
Obama is the Jim Carrey character in 'Dumb and Dumber'.
Who knows what he might say to Netanyahu - it won't be because he intends to as friends - he's really just that stupid.
Obama=>Dolt.
