Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1825777,00.html">Obama drew an unusually warm welcome from
Israeli President Shimon Peres Wednesday, who said his greatest wish is for a “great president of the United States.”
Earlier, the Senator ate a smoked salmon and local cheeses breakfast with
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak at the King David Hotel.
Barak’s office says they discussed “all the relevant issues.”Next, Obama talked with
opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, where they discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power.
Netanyahu tells reporters Obama told him “he would never seek in any way to compromise Israel’s security.”
He’s also expected to sit down with Israeli Prime Minister Olmert.http://thepage.time.com/2008/07/23/obama-lands-in-israel/">Link
