WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declined an offer to meet U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House later this month and canceled his trip to Washington, the White House said on Monday.
Netanyahu's decision to nix his U.S. visit marked the latest episode in a fraught relationship with Obama that has yet to recover from their deep differences over last year's U.S.-led international nuclear deal with Iran, Israel's arch foe.
The White House said the Israeli government had requested a Netanyahu meeting with Obama on either March 18 or 19 and that two weeks ago he was offered a March 18 encounter.

I certainly don't blame him , why in the hell would he want to meet with muslim leader who has ignored him for years.
What would be the point of that meeting. I mean, really. Obama does not support Israel's strong stance against Iran,Hezzbolah, the Palenstinian Authority and all the rest. I bet in a real shooting war he would take 2 months to ponder his options. He can't be trusted. Remember his "red line" in Syria? That proves the point.
Totally true 6:36 AM
Screw Obama stand ur ground.
Obama just trying to get Jewish dem votes DONT go.
Obama has insulted him and belittled him for years.
If I were Bibi, I wouldn't even return his calls.
Can you blame him? Would you go and shake hands with this creepy Muslim?
