Obama to visit Israel by mid-2010? So Israeli daily Yediot reports White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel recently told the Israeli consul general in Los Angeles, via Coteret:
During a meeting with Israel’s consul general in Los Angeles, Yaki Dayan, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said that US President Barack Obama intends to visit Israel during the first half of 2010.
The meeting took place on the fringes of an event that was held several weeks ago in Los Angeles in honor of Congressman Howard Berman (D). ....
During the conversation, Emanuel, who is very close to President Obama, expressed the despair of the American administration over the endless dealings with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
....UPDATE: "This whole thing is kind of silly," an official responds to a query about the item. "Why would Rahm give a serious policy statement, pro or con, during a chance encounter with the Israeli consul general in LA? When we have something to say to them, we have channels to say it. This is not it."
