President Obama appealed to a young Israeli audience on Thursday with a reference to the nation’s most popular sketch comedy show, which often parodies US-Israel relations.
“Any drama between me and my friend Bibi over the years was just a plot to create material for Eretz Nehederet,” Obama said to laughter and applause.

Some of the dialogue is in Hebrew, but you definitely don’t need to speak the language to get what’s going on — especially in the second half of the sketch.
