Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, will visit the United States this week, sources with knowledge of the itinerary said. Halevi's trip is a sign that security cooperation between Israel and the U.S. continues, despite disputes between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama over strategy regarding Iran. Halevi is scheduled to meet U.S. defense officials and attend a pro-Israel fundraising event, the sources said. It is his first U.S. trip since being appointed Military Intelligence chief in September. One source described Halevi's trip as routine and an opportunity for the general to familiarize himself with counterpart agencies in America.
