(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday where they agreed to increase their coordination on Iran. During their meeting, Obama told Netanyahu that Israel and the U.S. have an identical goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Netanyahu told Obama: "If this will be resolved by diplomacy, great. But we have to prepare for the worst-case scenario. The pressure on Iran has indeed increased, but time is getting short." Afterward Netanyahu told journalists: "The positions I presented on the Iranian issue were accepted with understanding in the White House. What [Obama] said outside to the cameras is what he said to me during the closed meeting."
