Rahm Emanuel will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The White House on Tuesday reported that its chief of staff, touring Israel on the occasion of his son’s bar mitzvah, will have a business meeting with Emanuel on Wednesday.
Emanuel and his family also will meet this week with President Shimon Peres.
Emanuel says he is enjoying his Israel visit, despite reports that opponents of President Obama’s pressure on Israel to freeze settlement building plan to protest the bar mitzvah.
