MK Nir Barkat of the Likud embarked on a public relations campaign in the United States tonight, 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 in a series of meetings with members of Congress and the Senate and opinion leaders in the United States.
It should be noted that Barkat is financing the travel expenses out of his own pocket.
