Is Ehud Barak wondering how much of the budget cuts are going to effect poor old israel? Is the debate about raising the debt ceiling and the budget cuts, going to effect the Israeli aid budget to the idf?
As for the U.N. Report on the Turkish flotilla... Will the continued delay of the report change what it says? That Israel violated international waters and bordered and killed civilians trying to provide medical and educational aid to gaza? Wheel chairs and primary school books are a huge threat to Israel!
He needn't worry about deficit talks and debt ceilings. U.S. politicians will bankrupt their nation and cut off their own heads before cutting back aid to Israel...

Haha!
Well, that being said, I really don't think financial support is the real agenda since it's a given...
The real agenda is to dictate to the U.S. Government what their foreign policy should be - particularly towards Palestine's bid at UN (it's on the agenda today at UNSC), Turkey, Iran and the rest of the Middle East...
I'm sure he'll make the customary stops at AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobby groups along with a potpourri of neo-cons and right wing, Tea Party fanatics to get them primed... you know just in case the U.S. Government has the audacity to not follow Israel's exact foreign policy script to the letter.
Perhaps he’ll even reminisce with Biden on the good old days and how Bibi virtually spat in his face during his last visit on the East Jerusalem illegal settlement issue…
