Obama and Netanyahu said to clash over settlements in private meet
US officials say despite smiles at a press availability, Obama and Netanyahu did not “paper over” their differences during the part of their meeting behind closed doors.
In private, Obama was pointed, senior Obama administration officials say, raising “profound US concerns” that settlement-building is eroding prospects for peace.
Netanyahu challenged that notion, says one official.
The meeting lasted a little over half an hour.
