Lesson Brief
Israel Hayom
On February 22, Israel Hayom reported that no US government officials will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu during his visit to the United States. According to reports from the Associated Press, the White House is considering how to undermine Netanyahu's visit and possibly to boycott the annual AIPAC conference. Instead of the President, Vice President or Secretary of State, a mid-level official may speak at the conference. Regarding the talks with Iran, Netanyahu is against the potential agreement that could help Iran produce nuclear bombs within a couple of years.
