USA
Barack Obama and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu have stressed their shared, tough stance towards Iran, as the US leader makes his first visit to Israel as president.
Speaking in Jerusalem, the two leaders said they agreed that Israel had the right to "defend itself by itself".
The leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. On Thursday, Mr Obama meets Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
Mr Obama arrived in Tel Aviv on Wednesday afternoon, as was greeted at Ben Gurion airport by Mr Netanyahu and Israeli President Shimon Peres.
He was taken immediately to see a missile battery that forms part of Israel's Iron Dome defence system against rocket attacks, before visiting Mr Peres at his official residence.
