The meetings, announced in a White House statement onSunday, arose from talks between President Barack Obama andIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month as theUnited States tried to persuade a skeptical Israel to supportthe Iran deal.

The interim deal, achieved in Geneva last month between Iranand major world powers, halts Iran's nuclear program in exchangefor modest sanctions relief. Over the next six months theparties are to attempt to negotiate a comprehensive solution toIran's nuclear challenge.
