MK Nir Barkat of the Likud embarked on a public relations campaign in the United States, during which he will hold a round of working meetings in Washington and New York.
Barkat will present his position against the establishment of the Palestinian Consulate in Jerusalem and the consequences of such a move on the unity of Jerusalem.
It should be noted that the trip takes place with the approval and coordination of the chairman of the Likud faction in the Knesset. Barkat is financing the travel expenses out of his own pocket.
