President Obama foregoes meeting with Netanyahu in favor of flight to Cuba for first US presidential trip since 1920s.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has canceled his annual trip to the United States after President Barack Obama declined to schedule a meeting with him.
Netanyahu had planned a visit to the US coinciding with the annual AIPAC summit planned for March 20 through 22. Netanyahu has made attending AIPAC’s annual conference a tradition, missing the event only twice.
Officials around the Prime Minister pointed out that the trip would take place in the middle of a heated presidential primary season, and Netanyahu is looking to avoid becoming entangled in internal American politics.
They also noted that Vice President Joe Biden is set to arrive in Israel this week for meetings with Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority leaders, and that the Israeli Prime Minister would be able to convey important messages through the Vice President.
Another reason for the cancellation appears to be a failure of Obama and Netanyahu to reach an agreement over the next Memorandum of Understanding.

Good for Bibi. Don’t waste time on that ugly cantaloupe head.
Obama has already secured the American Jewish vote. Color me puzzled.
I understand. For Obama, why meet with the leader of a country you just financed the annihilation of ?
Makes sense, from his POV.
hussein would rather go meet with a fellow communist than with an ally of the US. It would sure be nice to have an American president.
Babi should shut the door on Biden.
The candidates should be killing O on this issue. He’s treated Bibi like dog stool for years. 66% Israelis want Trump to be POTUS.
Good for Bibi. No point flying 6000 miles to cast pearls before swine - especially when said O-ink prefers kissing up with communist dictators like hisself
I can’t say what I’m thinking/wishing/hoping for
Israel should outright ban Bidet the perv.
Worst. President. EVER.
Thank you Bibi, for being by America's side through these dark Queen Putt years.
Should have said I’ll meet you in Havana!....................
“Good for Bibi. Don’t waste time on that ugly cantaloupe head.”
From the back, Obama looks like a VW bug with the doors open.
They want the guy that won’t take sides?
Should have said I’ll meet you in Havana!.
Bubba probably already put in his order for his sex toys.
Of course...!
Nimrod Gilligan meets a true statesman. Gilligan can’t handle it.
...the POS knows Bibi gets under his skin.
Your being deliberately stupid. Trump is on Israel’s side. It’s obvious with his connections to Israel, the diaspora and his own friggin children and sons/daughters-in-law. It’s obvious in the Israeli polling.
OTH, he said he wanted to broker negotiations in the hardest deal to be done in the world. The whole idea of it is to benefit Isreal to begin with. And to get the arabs to do anything you have to at least start with a blank sheet of paper. For, a bit.
So you go pretend all you want.
