Bush Launches New Round of Mideast Diplomacy
President Bush will meet next month with the leaders of Israel, Egypt and Jordan, the White House announced on Friday, launching a new round of Middle East diplomacy expected to lay the groundwork for Israel's withdrawal of settlements from the Gaza Strip.
bq. Officials said the meetings were part of a new push by the U.S. administration to calm rising tensions in the region after the assassination of Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin by Israeli forces. As part of that effort, the White House has decided to delay, possibly until mid-April, new U.S. economic sanctions against Syria for backing anti-Israel militants, sources said.
