Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is heading to Washington, D.C. Sunday morning for a hastily-scheduled meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama. However, the prime minister's staff is taking pains to play down expectations for the meeting, which his spokesman said had not been cemented.

"We're not confirming anything," Netanyahu spokesman Mark Regev told Israel National News on Sunday morning. "We are hopeful that there will be a meeting, but that's all."
