Obama: U.S.-Israel Bond 'Unbreakable'

In an effort to soothe a strained relationship, President Obama met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office Tuesday, telling reporters that the bond shared by the two countries is "unbreakable" and hitting back against media reports of a rift between the two men.

Mr. Netanyahu's previous visit to meet Mr. Obama in March was conducted entirely behind closed doors, with neither a working lunch nor any availability to the press, which is a traditional staple when a head of state visits. That prompted some observers to conclude Mr. Obama sought to punish Mr. Netanyahu for allowing an expansion of Jewish settlements.

Both men rejected reports of a chilly relationship, with Mr. Obama saying an Israeli reporter was "wrong" in describing Mr. Obama as "distancing" himself from Israel, and Mr. Netanyahu similarly saying such reports are "just flat wrong."
