U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron plans to make his first visit as British leader to Israel and the Palestinian territories this week. Cameron's Downing Street office says he will meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and deliver a speech at the Knesset on Wednesday.

He also is scheduled to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during his two-day trip.

Cameron initially planned to visit Israel last month but had to postpone the trip because his government faced emergency flooding in parts of England. Cameron did visit Israel as an opposition lawmaker before his 2010 rise to power.
