Awake Goy JERUSALEM (JTA) — The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected an Obama administration official’s statement that the White House was “surprised” to learn that Netanyahu decided not to meet with the president in Washington, D.C., later this month.
“Last Friday, during a meeting in the White House, Israel’s envoy to Washington, Ron Dermer, expressed Prime Minister Netanyahu’s appreciation for Obama’s offer to meet with him should he visit Washington,†according to a statement issued Tuesday by the Prime Minister’s Office “With that, Dermer also informed them that there was a high chance that the prime minister won’t go to Washington, and that a final answer would be given Monday after he spoke with him.â€

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Republican Party in Washington, D.C., is extending its primary hours to allow observant Jews to vote.
Patrick Mara, the director of the District of Columbia Republican Party, told the Washington Post in a report posted on the newspaper’s website Monday that the party would extend voting this Saturday to 9 p.m., five hours later than the scheduled finish.
Voting will move at 4 p.m. from a ballroom at the Loews Madison hotel to a smaller room in the same hotel. Those who vote after 4 will have to sign a document swearing they are observant Jews.
