US in diplomatic push for Mideast War
Robert Gates main poins of discussion:
1 - Israel nuclear threat Iran nuclear threat
2 - Israeli Occupattion and more land theft Iran nuclear threat
3 - Iran nuclear threat
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates heads to the Middle East on Sunday as part of a broader diplomatic push by President Barack Obama to breath life into faltering peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, US officials said.
The Pentagon chief's talks in Israel and Jordan coincide with high-level diplomatic visits the same week by the US envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, and a delegation led by Obama's national security advisor, James Jones.
The flurry of diplomacy also is expected to focus on Iran's disputed nuclear program, as the Obama administration had suggested any outreach with Tehran would have to wait until after the June 12 presidential elections.
Jones is scheduled to lead a delegation to Israel and the West Bank Tuesday through Thursday "to discuss the broad range of issues in our relationships with Israel and the Palestinian Authority," a White House official said. MoreIsrael’s defiance threatens Zionist-Occupied-USA peace drive
