President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have conferred about Mideast peace efforts, including recent Israel-Palestinian talks in Jordan. They also discussed Iran.
This is the first time in a long while that there has been an official White House statement on a telephone conversation between Mr. Obama and the Israeli prime minister.
It was, according to a White House statement, part of their regular communication and cooperation on bilateral and regional issues, with a major topic being the recent talks in Amman, Jordan between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators.
Mr. Obama reaffirmed his commitment to the goal of a comprehensive and lasting peace in the region. The president meets next week with Jordan's King Abdullah to discuss the status of peace efforts.

Israel getting nervous as Iran nears completion of having enough of their own in house produced bomb grade nuclear material, doesn’t need that constant threat looming over their heads in the future. Wants to take out the Iranian regime now. US says we will do it for them but we need more time to implement, Israel can only wait so much longer.
China gets promised oil from the Saudis during any disruption due to a war, Russia positioning to make more money off another unstable situation.
Iran stalling for time as usual, will get their ass kicked if they don’t succumb to reason.
Hey Barack!
Israel will defend itself with or without you and you are in no position to dictate to us.
If you want peace then focus on the aggressor, NOT the victim!

>>>Giglio means "lily" in Italian, and though the name would appear consonant with the insignia of Medici Florence, it derives from Aegilium, "Goat Island", a Latin transliteration of the Greek word for "little goat" (Aigýllion).<<<
