Netanyahu's Visit to L.A. Could Clog Streets

One day after a summit with President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit Los Angeles tomorrow to meet with business leaders and attend the premiere of an Israel tourism film.

Netanyahu is featured in the film "Israel: The Royal Tour," which is hosted by CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg. The movie premiere will be held at Paramount Studios, hosted by the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles.

Netanyahu will attend the premiere and speak at a VIP reception. Others expected to attend include Netanyahu's wife, Sara; David Siegel, consul general of Israel in Los Angeles; Greenberg; Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles President Jay Sanderson; and Mel Rogers, president and CEO of PBS Southern California.

Netanyahu is expected to remain in Los Angeles Tuesday night, then head to Northern California Wednesday to meet with the heads of technology companies including Apple, LinkedIn and Ebay. He is also expected to meet with Gov. Jerry Brown, and the pair will sign an agreement to promote economic ties between California and Israel.

He is expected to return to Los Angeles Wednesday night and attend a gala reception, possibly in the Santa Monica/Malibu area.
