The Romney campaign has decided that a fundraiser to be held at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem Monday morning will be closed to the press, reports the Washington Post. The decision violates an agreement between the media and the campaign that some press coverage will be allowed at all fundraisers held in public spaces including hotels.
From the Post:
Campaign spokesman Rick Gorka declined to explain the campaigns decision to violate protocol with the Jerusalem event. Pressed repeatedly by reporters to offer an explanation, Gorka said only that the fundraiser was closed press.
Billionaire Sheldon Adelson is expected to fly to Israel to attend the event.

If I fucked up as badly as he did with the Brits, I probably wouldn't want my WWIII inciting comments to the Israelis on tape either...
