White House hopeful Mitt Romney expected to meet the Zionist Israeli leaders on Sunday as he seeks to burnish his foreign policy credentials and portray himself as a better friend to the Zionist entity than President Barack Obama.

Romney, who arrived in occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Saturday night, was scheduled to hold talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning, followed by meetings with President Shimon Peres, opposition leaders and Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad later in the day.

He was also due to make a foreign policy statement.

Romney has consistently attacked what he says is Obama's weak and misguided Middle East policy, saying in January that the Democratic incumbent "threw Israel under the bus," by defining the 1967 borders as a starting point for the so-called Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

He has also charged that Obama's policy towards Iran is too weighted towards engagement with a Zionist enemy with suspected nuclear ambitions, and has vowed tougher sanctions if he is elected.

Obama made a show of support for the Zionist entity at the White House on Friday, signing a law reinforcing US security and military cooperation with the entity of occupation as representatives of the pro-Zionist entity lobby AIPAC stood next to him in the Oval Office.

The law, which gives the above mentioned entity preferential access to US arms and munitions, "underscores our unshakable commitment to Israel's security," Obama said.
