Low expectations from Obama-Netanyahu parley

Iran and Turkey
So while Netanyahu and Obama may not want to publicly rock any boats on the Palestinian front, it is widely thought they agree to disagree on several key issues regarding the Palestinians.
The other significant topic likely to be talked through on Tuesday is the latest imposition of sanctions against Iran both by the United Nations Security Council and unilaterally by Washington.
This part of the conversation is probably merely going to be an opportunity for Obama to update Netanyahu on the measures taken thus far and potential future steps, said Kam.
Israel has little choice right now but to wait to judge the impact of the recently approved package of sanctions.
Another area of concern for both leaders that may be raised on Tuesday is what they see as Turkey's shift into alignment with Syria and Iran.
Israel is still facing repercussions from its operation on board the Turkish vessel that led the Gaza flotilla. Meanwhile, the White House is closely watching Ankara's posturing as Washington seeks to isolate Tehran.
