Bush to make 1st official visit to Israel in January
Source: Haaretz


 

04 December 2007 – United States President George W. Bush will make an official visit to Israel in January, Haaretz learned on Tuesday.

A senior Jerusalem source said that Bush would come to Israel for two days on January 10, Israel Radio reported.

During his visit, Bush is expected to focus on promoting Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in the framework of agreements reached at last week's Mideast peace conference, held in Annapolis, Maryland,

This visit will be Bush's first visit to Israel since he took office seven years ago. Bush visited Israel in 1998 when he was governor of Texas. In contrast, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Israel three times in the six week period leading up to the Annapolis peace summit.

White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe confirmed Tuesday that "the president will go to the Mideast region in early January." He would not provide details about which countries Bush would visit during his trip.

Bush's visit will come almost one month after the Annapolis conference. Last week, Bush was criticized in the American press for not having visited Israel. With this visit, Bush hopes to demonstrate his commitment to the peace process relaunched in Annapolis.

Bush is also expected to discuss with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert the issue of Iran's nuclear program, and steps to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.

Last week, Haaretz reported that Bush had been invited to take part in Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations in 2008.

 

Comments: A Bush visit to Israel will be a big event and will draw lots of attention in the news. The article says that this visit will focus on the Israeli Palestinian negotiations and the Iranian nuclear program but I think the later will be the number one issue. This will send a clear signal to Iran that the United States is serious about Iran’s attempt to build nuclear weapons and will not allow it. In seven years G.W. has not made an official visit to Israel and this alone will show that the United States is serious. Iran will be keeping a close eye on this adventure in January and know that the stakes have been raised to the point of conflict. President Bush’s visit to Israel is a diplomatic maneuver and the proper word is brinkmanship. Everyone will be watching this visit on January 10th
