Dan Shapiro says the U.S. has complex plans for Iran, Syria and Israelis and Palestinians, so it's important to begin 'as fast as possible.'

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro says President Barack Obama will bring an "urgent" peacemaking agenda to Israel on his upcoming visit, focusing on the region and the resumption of talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

On Tuesday the White House announced that Obama will make it to Israel at the end of March, his first trip as U.S. president, as well as the West Bank and Jordan.

Speaking to Army Radio on Wednesday morning, Ambassador Shapiro said, "We have a very complex agenda about Iran, Syria and the need to get Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table, so it's important to begin as fast as possible."
