President Barack Obama will address the Israeli people directly during his trip to Israel next week, rather than speaking before the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, Politico reports. Both former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton gave speeches before the Knesset during their respective visits. Obama will deliver the speech at the Jerusalem International Convention Center on Thursday, March 21.
