Israel says PM did not consult Obama ahead of trip because meeting on peace process unnecessary.
WASHINGTON – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intention to visit Washington for the annual UJC General Assembly has surprised many on Capitol Hill and was apparently not coordinated with the Obama administration.
An American source told Ynet Sunday that news of the visit had been received with reserved astonishment.
The Obama administration has not yet responded to questions of whether a meeting with Netanyahu was forthcoming due to their surprise over the unscheduled visit. On the other hand, failure to invite Netanyahu to the White House may be perceived as a diplomatic crisis.
Sources in Jerusalem say Netanyahu did indeed decide to attend the GA without first consulting President Barack Obama, but that since the latter would also be present at the event the two may meet in any case.
The sources say a summit between the two leaders would be superfluous at this point in the peace process, and for this reason an official meeting has not been scheduled.
An official statement regarding Netanyahu's visit is scheduled to be published soon in the US, and an unofficial oral announcement has already been given by the Jewish Federations' leaders. The prime minister's visit is scheduled to take place on November 8-10.

Big deal, I wouldn't tell the President I was coming either if I wasn't planning on stoping in for date night or something.
Wow. Here he comes. And no meeting with Ozero.
And he didn’t do anything and we gave him the whitehouse.
“Poor Bambi, he’s probably going to have to cancel a vacation or look like an ass.”
Come on. We’ve all seen him vacation AND look like and @ss at the same time! Hell, he’s BEEN on vacation since January, 2009!!
Send more troops to Afghanistan, you ignorant, stooge WAFFLER!
If we all lived in the world of the diplomat, this would be akin to someone using your bathroom, but not using the toilet. And then using your best linen to smear it all over the place.
I dont think Obama is going to get a Hanukkah present.
He will talk to the people that he needs to talk to. There are serious threats and serious things to be done to address them.
Our current administration is just not part of that.
"Reserved astonishment" I REALLY LOVE it when the Lyin' King is caught off guard. If it wasnt so tragic, it would be very amusing. I just wish he were the president of SOME OTHER country, preferably one we don't like so much, instead of my beloved USA. Go Bibi Go!
Suprise Suprise Surprise LOL!
Hey, he is more than welcome at some Tea Party Expresses!!!
“At least someone is giving Obamy the finger.”
I think all of us on Free Republic do that every time we see his smirking face on our television screens.
God bless Bibi and Israel.
Exactly. Bibi doesn’t mind visiting the US, but he’d rather not see Obama.
I think that should be “Oy, Bibi!”
I’m a little weak on my Yiddish...
Diplomatic flip of the bird. Go Bibi!
...punt...
On first down of course...hehehe
UJC = United Jewish Communities.
Why wouldn’t Bibi be there? Why would Obama?
