What is this — after all the reports that Bibi canceled his trip to Washington, here is a newer news that he is going to go anyway? I wish he wouldn’t... Did Obama threaten him or something?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to fly to Washington and meet U.S. President Barack Obama despite a crisis over Israel’s storming of a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza, a spokesman said on Monday.
Netanyahu, in Ottawa for talks with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, had been due to meet Obama on Tuesday.
“It’s very important that we sit down with friends and allies and discuss issues of mutual concern and there are plans to continue on to Washington, to that planned meeting with President Obama,” Netanyahu spokesman Mark Regev told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp from Israel.
Something bigger may be coming. Remember the last Infitada was supposedly triggered when Sharon visited the Temple Mount. The Pali’s were already 100% ready and just needed an excuse.
The dateline on the Reuters story is two hours ago (OTTAWA

I hope BiBi has a patriotic soul to taste his food for him...Just saying...
