Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Obama at the White House Monday. The meeting is the first between the two world leaders since the Obama administration struck a nuclear deal with Iran, a deal Netanyahu publicly condemned in July and called it a "stunning, historic mistake."

According to the pundits, President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu will either exhaust every effort in order to leave behind the angst and anger of the fight for/against the Iranian nuclear deal, or smile for photographers before retreating behind closed doors for a scathing session of finger pointing, accusations, threats and admonitions when the Israeli leader shows up at the White House for talks. The meeting is the first between the two men in a year, since that time fighting an all-out gloves-off battle over the Iranian nuclear agreement. For the first time since the men began sparring publicly, Obama overwhelmingly won a victory when despite a budget in the tens of millions of dollars and the urgency of an "existential threat" to Israel, Netanyahu and his American support team and even the Republican party were collectively unable to turn out more than an extremely modest showing of support for killing the deal. The failed fight, though, caused collateral damage in the form of the Jewish state's bipartisanship in American politics and the egos of US lawmakers who believed they were strong supporters of Israel only to be told that their support for the Iran deal was more damning than their rhetoric was convincing. But rather than allow the rift to grow, the Netanyahu team is already reaching out to key Democrats in an attempt to short-cut any lingering ill feelings and attempt to do damage control.
When Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress in March, Obama's refusal to meet with the Prime Minister, citing upcoming Israeli elections, was seen as a snub.
Earlier this month, Obama administration officials revealed that is is unlikely, from their perspective, that a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians will be reached before President Obama leaves office.
In the meantime Palestinian terror attacks, which include stabbings, shootings and using vehicles as weapons to kill, continue daily on civilians in the Jewish State.
Obama is going to get his a** kicked again but he could care less. He does nothing but antagonize Net.
Obama is going to Say and Do something Stupid
I despise that arrogant pos
Is Obama going to allow him to go through the front door this time?
Once, 2013 !
I just looked at my TV and noticed that arrogant pos is on. Good thing I had my TV muted.
Will Obama say , Israel is our best ally and punches above it’s weight ?
Disgusting. The lack of a welcoming fire in the grate is no accident.
Bring a Parka and Ice Skates. Its going to be chilly there.
If they held a pay-per-view of Bibi kicking obama’s ass they could pay down a significant portion of the national debt.
Meeting with Obama = Waste of time
As is listening to that arrogant POS
If it was me, I’d have a hard time not spitting in his face.
A real statesman versus a community organizer.
When Rush Limbaugh discussed how Senator Bob Corker and the Republicans enabled the Iran nuclear deal to go through with the Corker Bill changing the threshold for scuttling the agreement from 1/3 to 2/3 of the Senate, it changed my perspective on what we have seen publicly in recent years.
Rush pointed out it was done to help big corporations like Boeing do business with Iran through sanctions lifting.
For me, I cannot believe Bibi Netanyahu was blindsided by what was going on in Washington. He knew Obama and the Republicans were forcing the deal through and his speechmaking against it was nothing more than a pretense, a sham, a charade.
The image of a conflict between Obama and Bibi was created for conservative consumption. Conservative supporters of Israel here in the US and conservative Israelis.
Boeing and other companies like Airbus can now do business with Iran and Boeing even did business with Israel on 14 airliners for El Al.
Israel’s defense industry and its American partners in the ‘military industrial complex’ will also benefit from the Iran nuclear deal because as Iran ramps up its nuclear capability, the defense industry will have to ramp up missile defense systems for Israel, the Saudis, Gulf Arabs and so on to counter Iran’s eventual development of nuclear capable ballistic missiles.
