President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have a face-to-face meeting next week. Once the professional topics have been fully covered and each side has read their respective shopping lists and insights (chiefly in connection with the Iranian issue), the chiefs of staff, the advisors and the aides will be given a slight hint to leave the room. [Prime Minister Netanyahu] Bibi and Obama will be left alone.

This tête-à-tête is the main and most important part of the meetings between leaders. It is at this intimate parley that a relationship is fostered, and trust and chemistry are created. When the ingredients are there, such a talk can be effective, focused and perhaps even historic. This was the case between Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and President Bill Clinton, and Prime Ministers Sharon and Olmert and President George Bush. In this intimate atmosphere, the president can briefly lean forward to the prime minister, put a hand on his shoulder and ask: Tell me, Yitzhak (or Ariel or Ehud), what's the 'red line'? Where do you draw your line? How far are you willing to go? How do you see the comprehensive solution, and what's your end game? Let's be honest, just between the two of us, what will it really take for you to strike in Iran? 

When it comes to Obama and Netanyahu, there's a problem.

Firstly, there isn't an iota of trust between them. Secondly, in such settings Netanyahu has a tendency to sell his interlocutor pipedreams, and then a second later do the exact opposite. In this piece, I will describe what Obama would have really told Netanyahu at their tête-à-tête meeting had he decided to say what's really in his heart, and what Netanyahu would have truly replied had he decided, for a change, to speak nothing but the truth. This is the alternative, imaginary and very politically incorrect conversation that would have taken place between the president and the prime minister in a utopic world that doesn't exist and never will.
