Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday.
The snub marked a fresh low in US-Israeli relations and appeared designed to show Mr Netanyahu how low his stock had fallen in Washington after he refused to back down in a row over Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.
The Israeli prime minister arrived at the White House on Tuesday evening brimming with confidence that the worst of the crisis in his country's relationship with the United States was over.
...
When the Israeli prime minister stalled, Mr Obama rose from his seat declaring: "I'm going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls."
As he left, Mr Netanyahu was told to consider the error of his ways. "I'm still around," Mr Obama is quoted by Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper as having said. "Let me know if there is anything new."

FUBO.
His arrogance is breathtaking. And dangerous.
1/20/13 cannot come soon enough. Sarah Palin will make things right.
You crack me up! I can’t take my eyes off of Netanyahu when he speaks. He is such a remarkable leader. I’m a Christ follower. As a nation we’ve replaced the bedrock of Jeudeo-Christian principles of our foundation, with the quicksand of secular progressivism. It’s very sad for those that don’t know to trust in God’s plan, but rather far too many put their trust on some politician’s plan. I pray for those poor misguided souls.
Right church wrong pew. Thanks.
To be snubbed by the marxist muzlim usurper is a badge of honor for right-thinking, moral people.
I'd rather eat boiled shot leather than break bread with this anti-Semitic Marxist Muslim. (there...fixed it!)
Well, IF I were Net I’d be grateful I didn’t have to spend any more time with BO or his freaky family.
Israel should deny entry to George Mitchell. Since the US has embargoed Israel for the last year of all military weapons while providing 10 Billion to the arabs, they have lost their leverage.
Sometimes though,
Silence can be deafening.
It wasn’t naive. Far from it. It was necessary for Bibi to come.
‘Enery the Eighth, I yam, I yam
BINGO! Excellent post!
So B. Hussein Obama has no class; we knew that already.
That’s not something you pick up while being shuttled from one miserable muslim country to another by your floozy hippy mom;
I hope Bibi and IDF are considering new sources for armaments, fast.
Netanyahu is a true hero,and a great leader that we should all have limitless respect for!! I cringe in shame to hear about the treatment the Obamanation in our oval office has given him. I am a Christian conservative and without faith in our Lord would have felt overwhelmed by the Evil being dealt to America by the Demonrats...
Netanyahu should have arranged to meet instead with Republican leaders, then flown back to Israel.
Did you forget your /sarc tag?
If not, let me be the first to say: IB4Z!!
I hope you are right that they have info on that slime bag and they do release it.
Anything new, let's see... How about the Palestinians have unequivocally agreed to immediately and unconditionally lay down their arms, recognize Israel and its right to exist, and stop trying to kill Jews. < /sarcasm >
