Israeli minister Benny Gantz has landed in Washington, where he plans to meet with a series of senior officials, including US Vice President Kamala Harris.
The meeting was not coordinated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rejected the Gantz's efforts.
Gantz is first set to meet AIPAC chief Howard Kohr. On Monday, he will meet with Harris and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
It was announced Sunday that a Tuesday meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been planned additionally. Gantz will then head to London for a meeting with British Secretary of State David Cameron.
