George Bush will make his first visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories as president on Wednesday. The president also confirmed with the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot that he foresees a peace agreement being signed between the Palestinians and Israelis before he departs from the area.
National security advisor, Stephen Hadley, says that Bush is hoping to expand on the “advances” made during the peace talks in Annapolis. His three-fold strategy for a peace agreement includes creating a shared vision of a future Palestinian state, helping Palestinians to build more effective security measures, and improving Arab-Israeli relations across the Middle East.
