Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama meet Monday to put aside their rocky personal relationship and move past the Iran nuclear deal with multi-billion-dollar talks on defense, AFP reports.
Obama and Netanyahu are known to have testy personal ties, not least because of the right-wing Israeli premier's courting of Republicans -the US president's opponents -including in a speech to Congress in March not coordinated with the White House. But analysts say the two seem determined to turn the page with a businesslike meeting and signal that the two countries' long-lasting alliance remains unshakeable.
