US, Israel hope arms deal mends ties

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a post-row summit Monday, hoping a massive 10-year defense deal will help them move beyond a bitter public fight that shook a decades-old alliance.

After acerbic clashes over the US-backed nuclear deal with Iran, the two leaders will discuss a deal expected to be worth more than $30 billion which will include a string of advanced weaponry systems, officials said.
