US and Israeli leaders hold talks
Washington, 10 Nov-(ANA)-President Barack Obama has met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House as the US struggles to revive the Middle East peace process.
The talks in Washington came amid heightened tension over Mr Netanyahu's refusal to freeze settlement building in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
There were no photos, no press calls, and none of the public warmth Israeli leaders usually get from US presidents.
It was only Mr Netanayahu's second visit to the White House since President Obama took office nine months ago. (ANA)
