President Obama spoke today by telephone with Prime Minister Netanyahu to congratulate the Prime Minister on his party’s success in winning a plurality of Knesset seats.
The President emphasized the importance the United States places on our close military, intelligence, and security cooperation with Israel, which reflects the deep and abiding partnership between both countries.
The President and the Prime Minister agreed to continue consultations on a range of regional issues, including the difficult path forward to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The President reaffirmed the United States’ long-standing commitment to a two-state solution that results in a secure Israel alongside a sovereign and viable Palestine.
On Iran, the President reiterated that the United States is focused on reaching a comprehensive deal with Iran that prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and verifiably assures the international community of the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program.

I guess he didn’t want to be the butt of every weekend news round-up as the laughing stock any longer!
OR
Ms. Michelle warned him and he made the call!
I heard that he threatened to not veto the next Palestinian statehood bid in the phone call.
That’s wonderful. I’m really glad he did that.
Obama indicated today that America will now support a legally binding UN Security Council Resolution demanding Israel withdraw to the 1967 borders.
The longer israel is I. The news Obama looks dumber and dumber with every move.
If he does that, than there might be a major shift on the part of American Jewry from Democrat to Republican…..
The mamzer ym’sh got around to calling. That’s nice.
Amazing that the Kenyan managed to take time out of his busy golf schedule to make the phone call. Impressive.
He’s likely to try to force the statehood issue but I think that Democrats and Republicans alike will not give him that mandate: though he is likely to try AND WHY, because he was handed this humiliating defeat.
About time,maybe he should’ve waited another week
Mod i’m a little surprised you let through comment #1
Garbage he’s tricking him and BB is falling for it
Edom and yishmael combined
Multiple reports are claiming it was actually Joe Hoof In Mouth Biden who called Natanyahu.
The president isn’t missing class, he’s only missing the first two letters of CLASS.
It’s time. Although I still think that it’s because of pressure.
How in the world did #14 get through? I think it’s inappropriate for a yeshiva news site and should be removed.
