WATCH: Avigdor Lieberman and Hillary Clinton talk about snow

In a highly critical meeting between Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington on Tuesday,  the two discussed, among other things (Iran, Iran and Iran), the weather.

In this first face-to-face meeting between the two in over a year, Lieberman and Clinton talked about snow.

This awkward photo-op says a lot about relations between the two officials, which former State Dept Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller characterized as “clearing the inbox” as far as Clinton is concerned.

On the other hand, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair, Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ross Lehtinen – who has attacked President Obama for his condemnation of Israeli settlement construction –  is not surprisingly very much at home with Lieberman.
