Because they are fairly close friends.

No, they’re not. Why do you think they are?

It’s an interesting topic actually. PM Netanyahu has both said of Romney that he was someone he had no particular connection to and said, in the same month, that he’s known him for decades and he’s been a personal friend.

“Israel’s current prime minister is not just a friend, he’s an old friend,” Mitt Romney, with whom Netanyahu worked at the Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s, told aipac in March. (Romney, Netanyahu suggests, may have overstated the tie. “I remember him for sure, but I don’t think we had any particular connections,” he tells me. “I knew him and he knew me, I suppose.”)

And here’s what the PM said when meeting Romney, just before his Israel-trip fundraiser:

“Governor Romney, Mitt, it’s a pleasure to welcome you in Jerusalem. We’ve known each other for many decades — we were so young then — and for some reason you still look young. I don’t know how you do it. And you’ve been a personal friend of mine and a strong friend of the State of Israel. And that’s why it’s a pleasure to welcome you here.”
