John Kerry to visit the region next month

By Daphna Berman



Former U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry will be visiting Israel and the Palestinian Authority early next month, political sources close to the Democratic Party told Haaretz yesterday.

The trip, scheduled to coincide roughly with the Palestinian elections, is part of a larger tour of the Middle East for the Massachusetts senator.

The dates for the trip and the exact itinerary have not been confirmed, the senator's press secretary, April Boyd, said from Washington.

"The senator's main goal will be to visit Iraq and thank U.S. troops and troops from Massachusetts," she said, adding that Middle East peace is high on his agenda.
