OPRAH GOING TO ISRAEL

Oprah Winfrey to Visit Israel on Solidarity Trip (AIPAC)
At a Monday event in Manhattan, American talk show icon Oprah Winfrey announced that she will accept Nobel laureate and author Elie Wiesel's invitation to travel to Israel and will be arriving in the Jewish state for a solidarity visit in the near future, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported. Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, called on Winfrey to visit Israel, where "the major war on terror is currently taking place." In her speech, Winfrey said she sympathized with the suffering of the people of Israel. Winfrey's upcoming visit to Israel, said Israel's U.N. Ambassador Dan Gillerman, could help bring an end to international indifference toward the terror threat faced by Israelis.
