WASHINGTON President Barack Obama will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House later this month.

The Sept. 30 meeting marks their first face-to-face talks since March, when the U.S. president visited Israel. Mr. Obama's trip was followed by a restart in peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians.

The White House says Mr. Obama and Netanyahu will discuss the peace talks, Iran, Syria and other regional issues.

Mr. Obama and Netanyahu will both be in New York next week for meetings at the United Nations. Netanyahu says his stops in New York and Washington will focus on halting Iran's nuclear program.

1. Theoretically Netanyahu is the one who is bought and paid for

but somehow it's the other way around. He'll give us our marching orders I'm quite sure.

2. interesting considering-In public shift, Israel calls for Assad's fall

Israel wants to see Syrian President Bashar al-Assad toppled, its ambassador to the United States said on Tuesday, in a shift from its non-committal public stance on its neighbor's civil war.

Even Assad's defeat by al Qaeda-aligned rebels would be preferable to Damascus's current alliance with Israel's arch-foe Iran, Ambassador Michael Oren said in an interview with the Jerusalem Post.

His comments marked a move in Israel's public position on Syria's two-and-1/2-year-old war.

Though old enemies, a stable stand-off has endured between the two countries during Assad's rule and at times Israel had pursued peace talks with him in hope of divorcing Syria from Tehran and Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah guerrillas in neighboring Lebanon.
