Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (L) walks next to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) before pre-bipartisan meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington March 3, 2014. Netanyahu bluntly told Barack Obama on Monday that Israelis expected their leader not to compromise on their security even as the U.S. president sought to reassure him on Iran diplomacy and pressure him on Middle East peace talks. In White House talks overshadowed by the Ukraine crisis, the two leaders tried to avoid any direct clash in a brief appearance before the press but were unable to paper over their differences on a pair of sensitive diplomacy drives that have stoked tensions between Israel and the United States.
