From the National Journal:
Add Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) to the list of potential 2012 White House contenders visiting Israel.Related posts:
The Republican Jewish Coalition announced Tuesday that it is sponsoring Barbour's trip Israel starting this weekend. Barbour's trip comes on the heels of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's trip there this week and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney trip to the Middle East last month.
According to the Republican Jewish Coalition, Barbour will meet with senior level Israeli officials. Those include Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been meeting with all of the prospective Republican contenders as they tour his country. Netanyahu met with Romney last month and Huckabee earlier this week.
Those meetings are particularly notable because they come as Netanyahu's relationship with the Obama administration appears to be straining.
