    Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel 2 TV that the issue didn’t come up in this week’s meeting with Obama in New York. But he noted the president has previously vetoed anti-Israel measures at the United Nations and said peace would not be achieved through speeches.

    Netanyahu said he “can only hope that this consistent approach of the Americans continues until the end of his presidency.”
