US President Barack Obama headed for Israel
- 11 years ago
US President Barack Obama will arrive in Israel on Wednesday without any new peace initiative to offer disillusioned Palestinians and facing Israeli doubts over his pledge to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
Making his first official visit to Israel as President, Obama hopes to reset his often fraught relations with both the Israelis and Palestinians in a carefully choreographed three-day stay that is high on symbolism but low on expectations.
