The White House shut down the rumor that President Obama had extended an invitation to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the finalization of the Iran Deal.
"No invitation has been extended, though certainly we’d expect that there will be occasion for the two leaders to meet in Washington at some point going forward," an unnamed White House official told the Free Beacon in response to an inquiry. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/white-house-denies-obama-asked-to-meet-with-netanyahu/
WFB provides some context for its request for clarification:
Reports surfaced earlier this week that Obama had invited Netanyahu to the White House for a mid-July meeting about Iran and the nuclear deal the Western powers hope to finalize by June 30.
Netanyahu has been a fierce critic of the administration’s diplomacy with Iran, having warned that a deal would only embolden Tehran and endanger the Jewish state.
The already strained relationship between Obama and Netanyahu reached a low point following the Israeli PM's surprise reelection, which Obama had not so secretly opposed. Obama blasted Netanyahu for allegedly "racist" comments about Arab voters and has since indicated that he will use the U.N. to apply pressure to Israel over its policies regarding Palestinians.
In your face, Bibi....standard Obama operating procedure. Anything to pander to the Brotherhood.
Where is John F—ing Kerry? Isn’t this his job?
He's tied up right now, taking a correspondence course on bicycling safety. /s
ping
did he apply for another Purple Heart? I would really like to know where Kerry is at the present time. We have a vital showdown deal with Iran and he has been missing for a few weeks. Sure can’t be a broken leg.
Thanks GOPJ.
