Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told reporters following his meeting Monday with President Barack Obama that the meeting had been one of the better ones the two have had.
"The conversation took place in a pleasant atmosphere, I would say constructive and businesslike," he said in a briefing following the meeting in Washington. "What was seen on the outside, was evident inside as well. [It was ] one of the best meetings I have had with Obama and I think the other side felt the same way."
The prime minister said that "the conversation was very relaxed, and honest. No one hides the differences between us, and now the question is what to do with them. We have a common interest in preventing Iran from violating the agreement that was signed with it, and we will cooperate on this issue."
"I did not feel any pent-up tension which is sometimes felt. The tone and essence of the conversation was very productive as well. There were no arguments and confrontations," continued Netanyahu.
He revealed that the central theme of the conversation was a memorandum of understanding regarding the increase of American military aid to Israel. "We did not focus on an amount, but I presented our needs, and we hope he accepts our analysis of the regional changes. The region has turned upside down compared to the previous decade, the previous agreement was signed in 2007 and it is impossible to compare the Middle East now to what it was then."

“He revealed that the central theme of the conversation was a memorandum of understanding regarding the increase of American military aid to Israel. “We did not focus on an amount...”
That memorandum will languish and not be fulfilled by Obama and since there is no amount in the memorandum, it will be nothing. He will agree to anything just to get Bibi out of his sight and out of the country.
Obama is doing a rope-a-dope right now with Obama in order to keep Israel out of harm’s way until Obama is out of office. He’s playing nice out of necessity for Israel’s survival on the political front, not the Muzzie danger front. He doesn’t want Obama to make a last time push for a rotten Israel-Pali peace deal and push for Palestinian statehood in the U.N., before Obama leaves office.
This may be wishful thinking on Bibi’s part, as Obama and his regime are evil, and I think they will do this anyhow, but Bibi is buying time with Obama to try to stave off this, IMO, inevitable attempt by Obama.
Meanwhile, Obama is concentrating on another of his last gasp attempts to get his full agenda through before he leaves office, and that is to close GITMO. He may succeed, as there is little to block this; unless by some miracle enough spineless Dems votes with Pubs in Congress to block this by an override of Obama’s sure veto of any attempts to stop him.
So, after Obama win’s or loses this battle over GITMO, an Israel-Pali peace agreement will be on the back burner. However, once the GITMO closing attempt is over, the peace agreement will move right on up to the top on Obama’s agenda, and he will once again shove the stiletto in Bibi and Israel’s back one last time, if he can get away with it.
It will be an interesting and most awful to watch scenario to be played out in the waning months of Obama’s regime.
One of the best sht sandwiches I’ve ever eaten!
Obama is a con artist. I knew about him before he appeared on the national scene. I have spent more years of my life in Chicago than anywhere else, 37 to be exact. Obama has mastered Alinsky’s teachings.

President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: It’s ‘All About The Money’ As The Leaders Meet In Washington

President Obama is predicted to increase the 10-year, $30 billion aid package that was agreed to in 2007 under the Bush administration. That package is due to expire in 2018 but in his March 2013 visit to Israel, President Obama pledged to continue multi-year aid packages to Israel through 2028. While the White House has been coy about the expected terms of the deal, Israel is requesting that the U.S. increase its financial commitment by half, from $3 billion a year to around $4.5 billion.
