US And Israeli Leaders To Meet Amid Violence

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Washington D.C. to hold talks with US President Barack Obama, amid increasing tension between Israel and Palestine.
The meeting, their first in 13 months, comes after a month of regular attacks by Palestinians on Israelis.



On Sunday, six Israelis were injured in three incidents and one Palestinian attacker was killed and another hurt.
Monday’s meeting will be the first time the leaders will meet since the US signed an accord with Iran in July.
The deal, which limited Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, was called “a bad mistake” by Mr Netanyahu, who said it was “a sure path to nuclear weapons”.
Mr Netanyahu has said that the focus of the talks would be on “possible progress with the Palestinians, or at least stabilising the situation with them, and, of course, strengthening the security of the state of Israel”.
