U.S. President�Barack�Obama�and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet in November to discuss the�Iran�nuclear deal as well as other regional security issues, the White House said on Wednesday.

The Nov. 9 White House meeting will be the first for the two leaders since U.S.-led diplomacy resulted in an�Iran�nuclear deal that�Israel�fiercely opposed.

The dispute over the agreement, which calls for curbs on Tehran's nuclear program in return for sanctions relief, drove a deeper wedge in already tense relations between the Obama and Netanyahu governments.

The meeting was announced a week after Obama�s Democrats in the U.S. Senate blocked a Republican bid to derail the landmark�Iran�agreement.

Obama and Netanyahu also will discuss Israel-Palestinian relations, the situation in Gaza and the West Bank and "the need for the genuine advancement of a two-state solution," the White House said.

Obama refused to see Netanyahu in March when the Israeli leader accepted an invitation from Republican leaders, without consulting the White House, and gave a speech to Congress in which he harshly criticized Obama�s negotiations with�Iran, Israel�s regional enemy.

The two have since spoken by phone but have not seen each other face-to-face since last year.
