Netanyahu, Rivlin haven't had work meeting in two months

  • 9 years ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin have not held work meetings in almost two months, as relations between the two remain rocky and strained in the wake of the president's criticism of the prime minister's rift with the American administration.
In private conversations, he also expressed concern of the fact Netanyahu refuses to discuss with the Americans the compensation package to Israel in the wake of the nuclear agreement with Iran.
With regards to Iran, Rivlin says at every opportunity that "there are three things Israel must insist on - its relationship with the United States, its relationship with the United States, and its relationship with the United States."
The President's Residence maintains normal ties with the head of the National Security Council, the Military Secretary to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretary.
