US Top Diplomat in ’’Israel’’ to Renew Commitment, Discuss Iran

Local Editor

US National Security Advisor Tom Donilon is expected to be in "Israel" Saturday for talks with senior "Israeli" officials on a range of issues, including Iran and Syria.

The White House announcement came as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton voiced cautious optimism about the prospect for Iran to return to nuclear talks with six world powers.

The top White House aide's visit "is the latest in a series of regular, high-level consultations between the United States and "Israel", consistent with our strong bilateral partnership, and part of our unshakable commitment to "Israel's security"," a White House statement said.

The visit comes ahead of a visit to Washington by "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for White House talks with Obama in early March, likely to focus on Iran and the failure to find a deal on resuming direct talks with Palestinians because of continuous "Israeli" settlement activities.
Meanwhile, during a press conference in Washington with Ashton, Clinton called a letter that the European Union's top diplomat had received from Iran "an important step".

"There is a potential possibility that Iran may be ready to start talks. We'll continue to discuss and make sure that what we're looking at is substantive," Ashton said at a press conference with Clinton.
