美国总统奥巴马星期一正在白宫同以色列总理内塔尼亚胡举行会谈。这是今年两人分别就任总统和总理以来首次会晤。
以色列国家安全顾问乌齐.阿拉德说，内塔尼亚胡想要表达以色列对于制止伊朗获得核武器的紧迫性。以色列认为伊朗是其生存的一个威胁。伊朗称其核计划是用于和平目的。
奥巴马总统说，他希望与伊朗进行对话，给伊朗一个接受国际准则的机会。以色列官员说，与伊朗的任何谈判只能限制在几个月时间之内，如果谈判失败，就应该对伊朗实施更严厉的国际制裁。
U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are meeting at the White House Monday for the first time since they took office earlier this year.
Israeli national security advisor Uzi Arad says Mr. Netanyahu will express a sense of urgency about what Israel sees as Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. Israel considers Iran to be a threat to its existence. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.
President Obama says he wants a dialogue with Iran to give it a chance to accept international norms. Israeli officials say any negotiations on Iran should be limited in time to a few months, and be followed by tougher international sanctions on Iran if they fail.
