In case you missed it, here is the latest Roundup of news about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

VEEP Tease:  Beth Myers, the woman in charge of vetting and helping Romney and Ann  select the #2 spot, had some fun on Twitter with a "VEEP" list. Myers  tweeted the following "short list". No one is taking Myers seriously.

Start Over In Israel?: U.S.  Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign left a  troubled visit to London behind him on Saturday and looked to rebound in  Israel, whose ties with the United States have been a familiar theme  during his election bid.

Mitt  Romney arrived in Israel Saturday looking to reset an overseas trip  that was aimed at proving him to be a capable leader on the world stage.  But his overseas debut was undermined almost from the very moment he  arrived in London, the first stop of his seven-day tour, when he  admitted he found the city's Olympic preparations "disconcerting."

While  the presumptive Republican nominee will be on somewhat friendlier  territory—he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been  friends since they worked together at the Boston Consulting Group in  1976—Romney will be navigating far trickier diplomatic territory in what  is considered one of the most sensitive foreign-policy regions in the  world.

His every word and action will face even greater scrutiny  than in Great Britain, as Romney faces intense pressure to explain how  he would handle the Middle East differently than Obama.

The Press Ain't Happy: Mitt  Romney's presidential campaign will not allow reporters to cover the  candidate's Monday fund-raiser in Jerusalem, a campaign aide said  Saturday.

That decision is a  change in practice from an agreement the campaign and media outlets,  including CNN, reached with the campaign last spring.

Romney  press aide Rick Gorka told reporters following Romney on his  international trip that the fund-raiser was closed press, but offered no  explanation as to why.

Romney's  closed-door fund-raisers and his private comments to donors were  highlighted when reporters from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal  overheard Romney telling donors in a backyard in April that as president  he might close the Department of Housing and Urban Development and  scale back the Department of Education, items he had not rolled out in  public events at the time.

Republican  presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who touched down here Saturday night  for a day of meetings with top Israeli and Palestinian leaders, plans to  wrap up his visit to Israel by collecting money from some of his  biggest benefactors behind closed doors.

Some of Romney’s Jewish  donors are flying here from the United States to attend the Jerusalem  fundraiser on Monday morning, including Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon  Adelson, who has pledged to personally give tens of millions of dollars  to a pro-Romney super PAC.

The campaign’s decision to close the  fundraiser to the press violates the ground rules it negotiated with  news organizations in April, when Romney wrapped up the Republican  nomination and began opening some of his finance events to the news  media.

Under the agreement, a pool of wire, print and television  reporters can cover every Romney fundraiser held in public venues,  including hotels and country clubs. The campaign does not allow media  coverage of fundraisers held in private residences.

Campaign  spokesman Rick Gorka declined to explain the campaign’s decision to  violate protocol with the Jerusalem event. Pressed repeatedly by  reporters to offer an explanation, Gorka said only that the fundraiser  was “closed press.”

“That’s all I’ve got for you — it’s closed press,” Gorka said.
