Senator Charles SchumerPresident Barack Obama is sure to talk about Israel tonight in his nomination acceptance speech, especially in the wake of a dispute over excluding any mention of Jerusalem from the party’s platform, Senator Chuck Schumer said.

“I know he will,” Schumer, a New York Democrat, told reporters at a breakfast meeting of the New York delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.

If Obama could tell the Democratic convention to change its platform and add mentions of Jerusalem and God, then Romney nominee could have demanded changes at his party’s convention last week in Tampa, Florida, she said.
