  Morning Update: Obama’s Mideast Plans

  Posted on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 by campaign2008

  Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) will meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank next week, a Palestinian official confirmed Monday (NYT). Obama will also meet with several Israeli leaders during his trip, which will also include visits to European capitals.

  Obama will address Iraq policy (Reuters) in a speech Tuesday morning. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will give a major speech on Afghanistan on Thursday.

  According to a new poll, voters are evenly divided (WashPost) between the two presidential candidates’ positions on Iraq.
