Obama Arrives in Israel for 3-Day Visit 
----------------------------------------


 
President Obama has arrived in Israel for his first visit there since
taking office. Obama will hold a joint news conference with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today followed by talks with
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank
on Thursday. Obama will travel to the West Bank by helicopter, avoiding
a drive through the Israeli separation barrier that carves up
Palestinian land.
