Netanyahu to convey Iranian concerns to Romney
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he'll tell Mitt Romney in their July 28 meeting about Israel's wish for Mideast peace and concerns about "the arming of Iran with nuclear weapons."
Netanyahu said those are the same messages he conveyed four years ago to then-Sen. Barack Obama when Obama was running for president and visited Israel before the election.
He said on on "Fox News Sunday" that he agrees with Obama's efforts to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

The prime minister was asked whether he'd be as comfortable with Romney as he is with Obama. Netanyahu's response to Fox was: "You're not going to draw we into your politics."
