The following pictures are from a selection in the flickr account of the Israeli Prime Minister:

I include the last picture because of something I recall reading during Bibi's first term as Prime Minister. When he came to the US to meet President Clinton for the first time, I recall there was nervousness as to how Bibi would do.
Someone made a comment regarding when Clinton and Netanyahu exited together--I believe it was after Netanyahu addressed Congress. He was impressed by the fact that when Clinton put his hand around Bibi's shoulder (implying a certain level of dominance) Bibi put his arm around Clinton as well (implying equality).
I was not impressed by the 'insight'
But I remembered it when I saw this picture.
Bibi had better have more than this to keep from getting railroaded by Obama.
fascinating. I saw another picture of Clinton and Bibi and she didn't look friendly. now a second one. Obviously these photos were not taken out of context. I really liked Daled Amos's analysis about the double meaning of putting your arm around someone who is hostile to you. One of my favorite blogs. I steal his stuff all the time because of his insight.
