United States President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ended their first meeting in the White House Tuesday and faced reporters before heading off for a joint working lunch.

Obama was asked if he wanted Netanyahu to extend the ten-month freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria that is to end in late September. He did not answer, and instead, praised Israel for showing “restraint” on the matter of “settlements,” as the Jewish communities in the biblical heartland are often referred to. This restraint, he said, has created more opportunity for direct talks.

Obama said that he hopes face-to-face negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority will resume before the freeze expires. He also said the bond between the U.S.and Israel is "unbreakable" and hailed the easing of the IDF blockade on Gaza as “real progress.”

The meetings are designed to heal an unusual public rift and invigorate US-led peace moves.

Check out the side by side photo of Bibi and obama. I think obama always trys to send a message to the muslim world with his body language around Israel/Jewish issues. That photo shows it all.

It also shows that Bibi is being a man on this issue.

The Palestinian peace talks were not mentioned. The purpose of the visit was the Iran war talks.

The Iran war will begin within the next 60 days

Bibi should not be meeting with that Rasha during the Three Weeks

May God bless Bibi with the courage, strength and wisdom to do what’s best for his people.

Lord know we have someone here doing the exact opposite.
