Romney to Jewish donors: ‘I get briefings from Israeli officials’

Jerusalem Post
 
WASHINGTON – US Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told donors attending his campaign's Utah retreat this weekend that he is briefed on the Middle East by Israeli government officials.
 
About 50 of the 700 donors who attended the retreat in Park City were Jewish, according to one in attendance.
 
Romney dropped in on the session, and said he had just been briefed by the Israeli ambassador, Michael Oren, speaking about, among other issues, the situation in Syria, the elections in Egypt and the effort to isolate Iran.
 
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and the Republican presidential nominee, said he has such conversations with Israeli officials to be kept up to date on the region.
 
Such briefings are not unusual once it becomes clear who the major party candidates are.
 
Romney also spoke about where he believed he and Obamadiffered on Iran; Romney said he would be doing more to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
 
The Obama administration is currently part of major power talks with Iran to make its suspected nuclear weapons program more transparent, and is also encouraging theinternational community to intensify sanctions.
 
It has also made representations to Israel to dial back threats of military action, although Obama administration officials have said that all options will be used to keep Iran from acquiring a bomb. Republicans have said that making clear such threats is the likeliest avenue to an Iranian retreat on the matter.
 
Addressing the US-Israel session were William Kristol, a founder of the Emergency Committee for Israel which recently ran ads accusing Obama of not doing enough to stop Iran; Michael Chertoff, the Bush administration Homeland SecuritySecretary, who is Jewish; and Norm Coleman, the former US senator from Minnesota, who is also Jewish.
 
To attend the retreat, donors either had to have donated $50,000 to the campaign or had to have raised $250,000.
 
GOP stars such as tactician Karl Rove, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Sen Jon Thune (R-S.D.) and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the US House of Representatives majority leader, were in attendance, a sign of a unified front after a rough primaries campaign.
 
There was kosher food on hand, and a Shabbat dinner for Jewish attendees.
 
Park City was the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics, the event that Romney turned around into a success after early signs of a possible fiasco, and that shot him to national fame.
