Israelis President Shimon Peres will meet with U.S. President Barak Obama next Monday during a visit to Washington for the annual AIPAC conference. He will meet with Obama before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who will arrive in Washington on May 18th.
Netanyahu decided not to attend the AIPAC conference and send Peres in his place. He wanted more time to prepare Israel’s foreign policy before meeting with the U.S. President.
