Updated at 2:50 pm (GMT+2): US President Barack Obama on Tuesday dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address before the US congress as a “theater,” saying: “I am not focused in the politics of this. I am not focused on the theater."
Netanyahu in his speech denounced Obama's drive for a nuclear accord with Iran, claiming that Washington was paving Tehran's path to a bomb.
After Netanyahu delivered an impassioned address to the US Congress, Obama retorted that the Israeli leader had no plan of his own to contain the Iranian threat.
