As part of an overseas tour aimed at bolstering his foreign policy credentials, Obama will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Israeli President Shimon Peres, Israel opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials. "I will share some of my ideas. The most important idea for me to reaffirm is the historic and special relationship between the United States and Israel -- one that cannot be broken," Obama said after landing at Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday night. Obama, who faces Republican John McCain in the November election, is struggling to overcome wariness among some Israelis and some Jewish voters in the United States about the strength of his commitment to Israel.
