"General Jones will discuss the full range of regional challenges and opportunities at this critical time in the Middle East," said National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer.

The spokesman did not specify on the so-called "critical time."

During his meetings with "key leaders" in Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Jones is expected to come up with two critical issues, one is the nuclear stalemate in Iran, and the other is the stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
