The White House announced yesterday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a meeting with President Obama on November 9. Obama and Netanyahu are expected to discuss "the Iran nuclear agreement and a new security assistance deal, among other issues" according to The Hill.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit is a demonstration of the deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Israel as well as the unprecedented security cooperation, including our close consultations to further enhance Israel's security,” Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement.
This will be the first meeting between the two leaders since the Iran nuclear deal was finalized.
The two leaders are also expected to discuss a new 10-year agreement on U.S.-Israel security cooperation, including military aid, and “countering Tehran’s destabilizing activities” in the Middle East, Earnest said.
Obama and Netanyahu will also touch upon Israeli-Palestinian relations and “the need for a genuine advancement of a two state solution.”
President Obama did not meet with Netanyahu during his visit earlier this year in March. The last in-person meeting between the two was in October 2014.
