Netanyahu is at the White House


YNet News reporting:

The meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama is currently underway, the first such meeting since both entered office. Over the course of the past several weeks Netanyahu's advisors have prepared for any potential points of conflict that may emerge, while American officials have tried to assuage those concerns.

Netanyahu left the official state guest residence, the Blair House, at 2:30 pm (GMT) and made the short journey to the White House. President Obama exited to Oval Office to greet him.

The meeting is expected to last over three hours. The two will hold a private discussion before being joined by their entourages. There will also be a shared meal. A handful of protestors gathered outside the White House to speak out against the two-state solution.
