by Maayana Miskin(Israelnationalnews.com) The government has sent two security advisors to Washngton to explain Israel's security needs before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and United States President Barack Obama meet next week.
Uzi Dayan, former head of the Israeli National Security Council, and Dore Gold, former senior political advisor and ambassador to the United Nations, met with Dan Shapiro and Dennis Ross of the United States National Security Council.
Gold and Dayan explained Israel's position, focusing on the findings of the Israeli Security Council. Israel's security establishment believes that in order for Israel to maintain its defensive capabilities, security must be provided by the IDF and not by a foreign army, and Israel must have a border along the Jordan Valley.
Israel's has the inalienable right to self-defense, which includes borders that can be defended, they said.
The American side responded favorably to Israel's position, sources said. The meeting also focused on Israel's talks with the Palestinian Authority.
Another important meeting took place at Council on Foreign Relations, where representatives were joined by senior staff from the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation and from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Several American speakers suggested that Israel do more to speak directly with the American public, which they said is often more supportive of Israel than are America's leaders.
