Obama to attend GA

WASHINGTON (JTA ) — President Barack Obama is speaking next month to the General Assembly of UJC/Jewish Federations of North America.

The speech, set to take place on Nov. 9, will be his first as president to a broad Jewish audience. Some Israeli figures and some leaders of the organized Jewish community have complained that Obama has not done enough to explain his positions on Middle East peacemaking.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also announce this weekend that he is attending in person, sources said.
