The Obama administration said Monday that it was "surprised" to learn that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had canceled a planned visit to Washington later this month, and denied an Israeli media report that claimed the White House was unable to arrange a meeting between President Obama and Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's visit had been planned to coincide with the American-Israel Political Affairs Committee's annual conference. The White House said Israel had proposed for the two leaders to meet on either March 17 or 18 and the U.S. had offered to meet on March 18.
"We were surprised to first learn via media reports that the Prime Minister, rather than accept our invitation, opted to cancel his visit," National Security Council spokesman Ned Price told reporters Monday. "Reports that we were not able to accommodate the Prime Minister's schedule are false."

Lying muslim filth.
I'm generally opposed to casting my vote for President for anyone who isn't a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, but if Mr. Netanyahu were to figure out a way to get nominated I'd have to take it into consideration.
Another Obazma snub.
Atta go Mr. ‘resident. America loves watching you give it to da juice/s
Oh, how we need to get rid of this jihadi resident Obama and all like him. Next January can’t come soon enough.
>>>first learn via media reports
he reads what he wants & the MSM is more accurate than the billions spent on intelligence!!
Don’t be so certain. Even now, even as we read and type, Republicans are scheming how to steal the nomination and put a loser in so he can lose again.
exactly. i was naively going to vote for the first time ever for trump... But after i heard his stance on Israel no way. I shall vote for cruz...
If that happens, that will be the end of the Republican party. We will not let a useless cadre of political aristocrats run the nation.
The Party of Tea will become an official party while the GOP will become a 3rd , irrelevant party.
Trump needs to pull ahead by 200 delegates these next few days.
Isn't this how Obama finds EVERYTHING out?
Good for him.
“The White House said Israel had proposed for the two leaders to meet on either March 17 or 18.”

That throws a HUGE wrench in St. Paddy’s Day festivities. I can do the 16th, but beyond that, would not be available until at least the 20th.

That said, I believe that you misinterpreted what Trump said about Israel. Yes, it is widely reported that he said that he would be “neutral” between Israel and the Palestinians...but that was taken entirely out of context. The actual context had to do ONLY with some type of peace conference in which he would (as President) be the mediator or honest broker. The role of a mediator or honest broker is specifically to NOT take sides, but to find common ground between the opposing parties. That one specific role says NOTHING about Trump’s position otherwise, either as an individual or as a President. FYI, Trump has backed Israel repeatedly over several decades. Many of his friends, high-level employees and partners are or have been Jewish, as is his daughter (through conversion) and grandchildren - and one would presume that they are all (except the grandkids, they’re too young) pro-Israel.
Vote how you will (and you don’t need my permission or blessing for that, of course), but at least cast your vote based on a complete set of facts and not innuendo.
I would also hope that if Trump is nominated, you will vote for him in the General Election. I know that I will proudly and with no reservations vote for ANY Republican in November to stop Hillary who, among many other horrible characteristics as both a person and a politician, has made it very clear that she is both an anti-Semite and anti-Israel.
Good on Bibi!!! Finally, someone dissing this arrogant POS, finally someone giving him back the utter lack of respect and simple human courtesy that he dished out before. Oh, and don’t worry, Bibi, the Pouty Child In Chief won’t treat Israel any worse because of this...he already was planning to screw you to the best of his ability.
My first thought is I wonder if Israel has finally decided to go bomb Iran, and the cancelling of the visit is reflective that negotiations are over and a decision has been made... their livelihood is at stake and Iran is very close to starting a nuclear war.
Getting Bibi a Hawaii COLB shouldn’t be a problem.
Ben O’Netanyehu is my real family name... a long Irish-Jewish lineage. Oi Baghorrah!
Okay... talk to me. :)
Just curious what you have been told about his policy towards Israel? Everything I read says Trump is pro Israel. This includes the Israeli press. They don’t like his immigration policy, but that was about it.
I wonder if Benji cancelled because he didn’t want to have to meet with FOUR GOP candidates...
They’re in a snit because they wanted to snub him before he could snub them ... waaaa, now they can’t!
