Just a few days before Mitt Romney is scheduled to arrive in Israel, the White House dispatched U.S. counterterror chief John Brennan to the country to meet with Israeli and Palestinian officials. From National Security Council spokesperson Tommy Vietor:
John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, visited Israel on July 25 to consult with senior Israeli officials about a range of shared security concerns, including the recent wave of terrorist plots against Israeli and other interests. He also had a productive meeting with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Fayyad in Jerusalem.
