Obama Plans to Make 1st Visit to Israel as President 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama has announced plans to visit Israel in the coming months
for the first time since becoming president. He will also visit the West
Bank and Jordan. The announcement comes on the heels of an inquiry by
the United Nations Human Rights Council that found Israel is openly
flouting international law by continuing the growth of West Bank
settlements.
