Both Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Obama will be speaking to the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America next week in Washington. You'll be able to see the speeches on the GA website.
Meanwhile, it is not known whether the two leaders will meet next week or even if the US Adminsitration was informed in advance of the visit. Stay tuned. But with things heating up over Iran, including Israel's seizure of an arms-laden ship headed for Lebanon, Abbas stewing and bowing out of upcoming elections in Ramallah and the Goldstone fiasco making its way through the U.N., it seems like a good idea for Bibi and Barack to break bread.
