Obama to meet with Israeli and Afghan leaders next week

Obama meets with Israeli President Shimon Peres on Tuesday and Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday.

The White House says President Barack Obama will meet Wednesday with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari to discuss their troubled region.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Friday that Obama would meet jointly and separately with the two at the White House. He said Obama looks forward to discussing with them "how we can work together to enhance our cooperation in this important part of the world."

It is nice and good that the Obama Administration is reaching out, but the real meetup in my mind is going to be the with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. Clash of the Titans, anyone?
