An Israeli lawmaker says Republican presidential candidate Rick Perrylikely will visit Israel in October or November.
Deputy Knesset Speaker Danny Danon, who appeared Tuesday withMr. Perry at a pro-Israel rally in New York, told The Washington Times that he had invited the Texas governor to visit the Jewish state.
Mr. Perry “told me that he would be very happy to come, and we will try to work out a date that will be available for him to come — probably it will be in October or November — and I’m looking forward to hosting him inIsrael,” Mr. Danon said.
Mr. Perry last visited Israel in 2009, when he received the Defender of Jerusalem Award, which is given to public figures who have shown support for Israel and its capital, Jerusalem.
In a speech Tuesday, Mr. Perry took aim at what he called PresidentObama’s “naive, arrogant, misguided and dangerous” Middle East policies.
With the Palestinians planning to submit an application for U.N.membership over U.S. wishes on Friday, Mr. Perry said the U.S. should respond by cutting off funding to the U.N. and the Palestinian Authority, and by closing the Washington offices of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
