...IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi’s trip this week to Washington. Ashkenazi went to the US to brief top administration officials on Iran’s progress toward a nuclear bomb. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Ashkenazi’s counterpart, Adm. Michael Mullen, both managed to be out of town. Defense Ministry sources say that Ashkenazi only met with National Security Adviser James Jones, who reportedly wished to speak exclusively about the Palestinians, and with Clinton’s Iran adviser Dennis Ross, whose role in shaping US policy toward Iran remains unclear.
Last year, Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi had no problem setting up meetings with top officials in the U.S. government. On his current trip to Washington, Ashkenazi sought to meet the administration of President Barack Obama, but most officials were unavailable.
