London, Nov 15 (ANI): French President Nicolas Sarkozy has sent a letter of condolence to Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, after having reportedly called him a "liar" in a private conversation with US President Barack Obama.
Sarkozy suffered embarrassment last week after some French journalists overheard him saying that, 'Netanyahu is a liar and he can't stand him,' while talking to Obama at the G-20 summit in Cannes.
Obama made the matter even worse, by replying, "You are sick of him, but I have to deal with him every day."
According to a senior Israeli official, Sarkozy sent a personal letter in his and his wife Carla's name, expressing his condolences to Netanyahu, The Telegraph reports.
"In the letter, Sarkozy reminds the prime minister of his friendship and underlines that their differences over the problems of the Middle East, which the press echoed recently, do not have an impact on this friendship," the official said.
In Paris, the Elysee confirmed that a 'private' letter had been sent, but refused to disclose its contents. (ANI)
