With photos like these, you don’t really need to read much about President Obama’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office today.
The sour looks weren’t exactly unexpected, after Obama suggested yesterday that a two-state solution roughly conform to the pre-1967 borders.
The A.P. said: “Both men greeted reporters with smiles despite the deep tension surrounding their talks.”
Netanyahu reportedly told the president: “Peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle East reality.” Obama said it was natural to have disagreements “between friends.”
