The breakfast in Jerusalem was attended by casino mogul and Sheldon Adelson, who has donated at least $10 million to the Romney political action committee.

Adelson has reportedly called on Romney to state publicly that Israeli-Palestinian peace talks are a waste of time because the Palestinians are unwilling to make peace. Adelson is also seeking a firmer commitment from Romney to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, in a move that would represent a de facto recognition of Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem.
