BURY THE HATCHET

Obama and Netanyahu Meet to Mend Fences

Look to move past Iran deal dispute.

President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in Washington D.C. on Monday, agreeing that it was time for them to move beyond their "strong disagreement" over the Iran nuclear deal. Both leaders said that it is incumbent upon them to team up to guard against Iranian misbehavior and help support Israeli security. "We don’t have a disagreement on the need to making sure Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, and we don’t have a disagreement about us blunting destabilizing activities in Iran that may be taking place," Obama said, with Netanyahu seated beside him. This marked the first time the pair have met face-to-face in a year.
