Plenty of Israelis in Obama speech audience

A good chunk of the reporters waiting for President Barack Obama’s Iran speech at American University in Washington are Israeli.

A 12-strong delegation from the Israel Diplomatic Correspondents Association is currently in town for meetings with senior administration officials and lawmakers.

The president is already almost a half hour late, leading the Israeli journalists to joke that they finally discovered something Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have in common: making journalists wait.
