President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet today as the contacts between Obama and Iran’s president test the improved relationship of the U.S. and Israeli leaders.
Netanyahu is visiting Obama in Washington a day before he addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the forum where a year ago he said Israel can’t abide Iran’s development of a nuclear bomb. Netanyahu has voiced skepticism about Iran’s motives for reaching out to Obama and the West, and urged U.S. and international leaders not to be fooled.
