A spokesman for
Netanyahu's office had no immediate official comment on the
report. Officials speaking on condition of anonymity, however,
told reporters that no such invitation had been received.
The mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth daily quoted unidentified
sources at the State Department as saying Obama had invited
Netanyahu for talks in mid-July, after a June 30 deadline for a
major powers deal with Iran on its nuclear program.
Netanyahu has criticized the emerging deal Israel fears will
allow Iran the means of making a bomb, while also granting it
sanctions relief that could help bankroll its guerrilla allies
in the region.
Iran says its nuclear projects are peaceful.
