The Bush administration should push the new Iraqi government to forge diplomatic ties with Israel, two U.S. lawmakers said. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) called for such ties Wednesday while visiting the Jewish state. Kyl said the United States must persuade Iraq that such ties are in its best interest. On the trip, the two also met with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei.
