Press Conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and United States President Barack Obama at the Prime Minister's Residence in Jerusalem

 Prime Minister Netanyahu:  Mr. President, Barack, it's a great pleasure to host you here in Jerusalem. You've graciously hosted me many times in Washington, so I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to reciprocate. I hope that the good will and warmth of the people of Israel has already made you feel at home.

 President Obama:  Very much so.

 PM:  We had an opportunity today to begin discussing the wide range of issues that are critical to both our countries, and foremost among these is Iran's relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Following are the felicitations that US President Barack Obama wrote earlier today (Wednesday, 20 March 2013) in the guestbook at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official residence:

 "It is a great honor to reaffirm the extraordinary bonds between our two countries. By every measure, from security to our economy, our cooperation has never been greater and this in part is because of the strong commitment of Prime Minister Netanyahu. May our bonds continue to grow. On behalf of our people and prosperity for all people."

President Obama: Well, thank you Prime Minister Netanyahu for your kind words and for your wonderful welcome today. And I want to express a special thanks to Sara, as well as your two sons, for their warmth and hospitality. It was wonderful to see them. I did inform the Prime Minister that they are very good looking young men who clearly got their looks from their mother.

 Prime Minister Netanyahu: Well, I could say the same of your daughters.

 President Obama: This is true. Our goal is to improve our gene pool by marrying women who are better than we are.

 Mr. Prime Minister, I want to begin by congratulating you on the formation of your new government. In the United States, we work hard to find agreement between our two major parties. Here in Israel you have to find consensus among many more. And few legislatures can compete with the intensity of the Knesset. But all of this reflects the thriving nature of Israel’s democracy.
