Israeli President Rivlin was offered to meet with US President Obama during an upcoming visit to the US, but rejected the offer for logistical reasons, a statement from his office said.
"Over the past few days, there has been contact between the relevant parties in Israel and the US, discussing the possibility of a meeting between President Obama and President Rivlin during his visit to New York to address the United Nations Holocaust commemorations.
"At this stage, it has been agreed not to hold a meeting during his visit, due to the schedule constraints of both leaders, and that a meeting would be scheduled at a later date," the statement said.
