"US administration officials informed Netanyahu that President Obama will not be able to meet with him in early May, while the AIPAC conference is held in Washington.
The meeting between the new Israeli premier and the president of the United States is perceived in Israel as a sign that the formation process of the new government has been completed and as a salutation by Israel's close friend.
Netanyahu had hoped to capitalize on the opportunity and to meet with Obama during the annual AIPAC conference, but the Americans informed the Israelis that Obama was not going to be 'in town.'
That being the case, the inclination among Netanyahu's aides is to cancel his trip to attend the AIPAC conference and to try to secure a date for a meeting with Obama later in May."

The WH is playing with a fire they don't even comprehend with their contemptuous actions.
I understand what you are alluding to, and I agree.
"Guard me oh Lord, as the apple of thine eye."
Well this does not demonstrate 'confidence' in their ploys and plans to send Bama out of town. What happened to that on high theme that Bama told the Republicans 'he' won the election and those that did not vote for him would just have to deal with doing things his way.
Did not Netanyahu win an election?
So will they deny funding next? And where will they send Bama to send a specific message to Netanyahu? Egypt to visit the Sphinx? Put a Pharaoh's headdress on Bama's head and he looks to me just like the head of that Sphinx.
U. S. administration officials informed Netanyahu that President Obama will not be able to meet with him.
Maybe "Osama" Obama would rather be shaking hands with Chavez or bowing to the Saudi king!
I would certainly interpret this as a snub and/or very short memory on the part of Obama. I seem to recall when all the top Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, set aside time to greet Obama during O's brief visit to Israel last summer. (Back then, neither Obama nor Netanyahu were chief of state.)
Bibi...tell twinkle-toes to go pound sand...
