After months of chilly relations, President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet at the White House on Nov. 9 to talk about the Iran nuclear deal that Israel's government has harshly criticised and tried without success to block.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the leaders also would discuss efforts to counter the Islamic State group's activities in the Mideast. He called the meeting a demonstration "of the deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Israel as well as our unprecedented cooperation to further enhance Israel's security."
