U.S President Barack Obama is expected to visit Israel in March as part of his regional tour, Israeli Channel 10 reported on Tuesday.

According to the report, Obama, who did not visit Israel during his first term, will arrive in Israel on March 20.

The report said the motivation behind Obama's visit is related to understandings reached between the Israeli and U.S. administrations regarding the need to renew the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

The peace process came to a halt in 2010 over the expansion of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Obama's visit to the region is also expected to include stops in the Palestinian territories, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Israeli officials refused to comment on the report. Endi
