US President Barack Obama asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take a break from his “clamorous criticism” towards negotiations for a final Iran nuclear deal, the Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported Thursday.

According to the report, Obama offered that Netanyahu send a delegation to Washington in order to make his reservations known to US representatives.

“Perhaps the United States and Israel need a back channel, outside the bombastic pressure campaign by Israeli advocates,” Ignatius wrote. Netanyahu is expected to send his security advisor Yossi Cohen to consult with the Americans.

After the interim agreement was signed in Geneva, Obama spoke with Netanyahu, who was deeply against the agreement. After the call, the White House issued a statement the president was willing to begin immediate consultations with Israeli representatives in order to come up with a wide-ranging solution to the Iranian nuclear issue.

The Washington-Jerusalem relationship was on a crash course as Iran and world powers announced an interim agreement in Geneva. Netanyahu issued fierce criticism, calling the agreement “bad and dangerous,” while US Secretary of State John Kerry fired back saying the Israeli prime minister was wrong.
