Speaking at Sunday's cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu discussed his upcoming weekend trip to the United States and Canada. In Washington, Netanyahu is set to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama. Netanyahu said that the Middle East “is a sensitive region where things change quickly. We will discuss all issues the region is currently facing, including the murder of innocent civilians in Syria,” Netanyahu said.

He stressed that Iran, of course, would be the centerpiece of his discussions with Obama. “For those who needed additional proof, the IAEA report from Friday proves that Israel's concerns over Iran are justified.” The report said that Iran was not cooperating with international investigators, and that there was a great concern of the military applications of Iran's ongoing development.
