WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama hopes to address young Israelis on his visit to Israel, a senior administration official said."The president’s speech is an opportunity for him to speak directly with the Israeli people, in particular to young people, about the broad nature of the US-Israeli relationship,” the official told JTA ahead of a White House briefing Thursday with Jewish community leaders about the trip scheduled for later this month.The official would not confirm reports in Israeli media that Obama's team had opted against a Knesset address and instead is seeking to organize an address to university students at Jerusalem's convention center.
