We’re following perspectives on the meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama…. Al Jazeera English states quickly it’s about two distinct personalities and first impressions…

“…it will be quite interesting to see what happens when the “yes we can” meets the “no we won’t””

The Jerusalem Post says it’s a matter of nuance between the two leaders. Even though Iran’s nuclear ambitions are front and center...  the United States will benefit more if it keeps the focus on Israeli-Palestine relations…

“These "moderate" Arab regimes…would be less embarrassed to work together with the US on a variety of issues if there were credible Israeli-Palestine negotiations going on.”

Even so, in an opinion piece, The New York Times says – Prime Minister Netanyahu will focus on Iran…

“…as a way of avoiding the mare’s nest of problems associated with the Middle East peace process, especially the escalating pressure from the Obama administration to curb Jewish settlement on the West Bank.”

When it comes to Iran – Iran’s own Tehran Times reports a dramatically different view from the Arab League secretary…

“We do not regard Iran as the main issue. Actually, the Arab world does not have any problem with Iran… The main problem and major threat to the region and Arabs is Israel’s nuclear activity…”


The Economist is more direct saying President Obama can’t hold back:

“Israel’s long-term security can be ensured only by America cajoling and even threatening its leaders in the hope that they will accept that the Israeli state’s safety depends overwhelmingly on the viability of a Palestinian one.”
