The Zionist Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said Tuesday that US President Barack Obama invited Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a meeting in the White House next month after a deadline for reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran.
Citing US officials, the paper added that Netanyahu would travel to Washington in mid-July, approximately two weeks after the June 30 deadline for the Iran nuclear deal.
Zionist media stated that such meeting would likely be the latest in a series of tense sessions between the two leaders who have a famously frosty relationship, and the first since Netanyahu’s reelection in March amid signals of disapproval from the White House.
However, Netanyahu's office denied receiving offer from Obama administration "for a sit-down between two less-than-friendly leaders after nuclear talks deadline," the Times of Israel news website said Tuesday.
There was also no immediate confirmation from the White House.
