Obama will meet with Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly

Washington - US President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet on Wednesday during the UN General Assembly to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the nuclear deal with Iran and military assistance agreement recently signed by Washington.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest, said in a statement on Sunday about the next bilateral meeting between the two leaders.

"The meeting will also be an opportunity to discuss the need for a real breakthrough to reach a two-state solution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians based on very worrying trends in the field," he said in his statement the spokesman White House.
