Washington: US President Barack Obama would host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on November 9, his press secretary announced here. "The President looks forward to discussing with the Prime Minister regional security issues, including implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to peacefully and verifiably prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and countering Tehran's destabilising activities," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters at his daily news conference on Wednesday.
Obama also looks forward to discussing Israel's relations with the Palestinians, the situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and the need for the genuine advancement of a two-state solution, he said. "Netanyahu's visit is a demonstration of the deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Israel as well as the unprecedented security cooperation, including our close consultations to further enhance Israel's security," Earnest said.
