Netanyahu and Obama to meet next month at White House

Prime minister says he and the president will discuss Iran nuclear talks and peace process between Israel and Palestinians

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Barack Obama next month at the White House during a multi-faceted trip to the United States, the prime minister confirmed Monday, speaking to reporters at the end of a meeting of his Likud party's Knesset faction in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu said that the trip "has four objectives – first and foremost Iran." He said he and Obama would discuss the Iranian nuclear program.

"Iran continues to object to any dismantling of its (uranium) enrichment capability - not even a single centrifuge," Netanyahu said in public remarks to legislators from his party.

Iran denies Western allegations it has been seeking the means to make atomic weapons, saying such claims are baseless and fabricated by foes such as Israel, which is widely believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear-armed power.
