WASHINGTON, Feb 5: President Barack Obama plans to make his first visit to Israel as US leader in the coming months, the White House said on Tuesday.
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the prospect of a visit in a telephone call late last month, but the White House said that it was not ready yet to name a date or offer further details.
“When the president spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Jan 28, they discussed a visit by the president to Israel in the spring,” said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.—AFP
