Obama: ‘Israel Is Obviously in a Very Turbulent Neighborhood’

‘We meet at a challenging time’

OBAMA: "We meet at a challenging time. Israel is obviously in a very turbulent neighborhood and this gives us an opportunity once again to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel, and our inclined commitment to making sure that Israel is secure...

We have to find ways to change this status quo so that both Israeli citizens are safe in their own homes and school children in their schools from the possibility of rocket fire, but also that we don't have the tragedy of Palestinian children being killed as well."

NETANYAHU: "I also want to thank you for this opportunity to meet with you and to discuss the enormous challenges facing the United States and Israel in the Middle East. There is definitely a new Middle East. I think it poses new dangers, but it also presents new opportunities. As for the dangers, Israel fully supports your effort ad your leadership to defeat ISIS. We think everybody should support this."
