Very good move Mr. President.
Written by GussPresident George W Bush has called for an international meeting to discuss efforts to restart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
The proposed meeting would take place later this year and involve the US, Israel and some of its Arab neighbours.Speaking at the White House, Mr Bush also announced a $190m (£95m) aid package for President Mahmoud Abbas’s emergency Palestinian government.
Earlier, Israel said it would release 250 Palestinian prisoners.
The goodwill gesture by Israel is part of efforts to bolster Mr Abbas since the Islamic militant group Hamas defeated his forces and seized control of the Gaza Strip last month.
Mr Bush said the Middle East Quartet - which consists of the US, Russia, the EU and the UN - would help strengthen the government of Mr Abbas to promote peace.
“We can help them prove to the world, the region and Israel that a Palestinian state would be a partner, not a danger.
