Dennis Ross is scheduled to arrive in Jerusalem next week. It appears he will be arriving as a member of a delegation headed by National Security Advisor James Jones. Meetings will be held with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and National Security Advisor Dr. Uzi Arad.
Ross served under George Bush senior as well as special Mideast coordinator in the administration of former President Bill Clinton. In the current administration her served as a special advisor to Iran and now serves as an advisor in the White House.
Mideast envoy George Mitchell will also be arriving with a delegation, signaling the White House is turning up the heat on Israel regarding the controversy over construction in Jerusalem. It would appear the announce major expulsion plan, to remove 23 outposts in a single day, is not doing anything to appease the White House, with the president still opposed to construction in “occupied East Jerusalem”, know more accurately as the Shimon HaTzaddik area of the capital where building permits have been granted to construct approximately 20 homes for Jews.

This is all so weird.
More diplomatic protesters dispatched to Israel. Israel should just let Dennis Ross and company go and say tehillim outside the Shepherd Hotel.
But warn the US Diplomats: don’t burn any garbage cans!
I say revoke the visas of both George Mitchell and Dennis Ross, and force them to sleep in one basement in Bnei Brak. And don’t forget to make sure that the ceiling leaks.
