President says he's not counting on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to sign any diplomatic agreement prior to the election.

Does you have any worries that Netanyahu may be trying to influence the election and that's why he has not agreed to a diplomatic solution? No administration has helped Israel more than I have. I'm confident that the election will be a free and peaceful.

And I'm concerned about what they're going to do to do.

Mr. President, what are you considering imposing sanctions on Iran ? And would you include oil in those sanctions? The whole thing, I'm not going to discuss that a lot. The main thing we can do is try to rally the rest of the world and our allies into participating like the French are and in Lebanon and other places to tamp down.
