JERUSALEM/WASHINGTON (Reuters) –
Rare agreement between two long-bickering leaders may actually be in
the cards when Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack
Obama meet on Monday for the first time since the signing of the Iran
nuclear deal.
Their White House talks will be an important step towards
a new U.S. military aid package that could burnish the right-wing prime
minister’s security credentials, now challenged by a wave of
Palestinian stabbing and shooting attacks.
The meeting, the first between the two leaders in 13
months, could also underpin Obama’s assurances that he has Israel’s back
and help deflect accusations from Republican presidential hopefuls that
he and any Democrat successor are less pro-Israel.
