The trip is part of his sweep across the Middle East, which will include visits to the West Bank and Jordan.

Obama's first stop Wednesday will be a visit to an Iron Dome missile defense launcher in Tel Aviv.

    NO MORE WARS! The Jewish state has ICBM nukes and openly threatens Iran, actually campaigns for war against Iran. Israel, not Iran, is the warmonger. Resolution lies with lifting all sanctions and compensating Iran for damages from the $$$ billions we will no longer be giving the Jewish state. An Iran with nukes just might inhibit the Jewish state's brutish pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and apartheid empire. Mutually assured destruction could actually make Mideast peace possible. NO MORE WARS!

    Abandoning and aggressively isolating the Jewish state would force it to abandon its existential threats to Iran, continuing horrors wreaked upon Palestine and paranoid pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and racist empire in, and beyond, the Mideast. America would regain financial integrity and stature among nations. There is no greater or kinder support that we could render to the Mideast, and our “inseparable Mideast ally.â€
