| MIDEAST: Palestinian Leader Invited to Washington |
| 2003-06-29 |
| Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas has been invited to visit Washington in the coming days, a senior Palestinian official said Sunday. Arrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh. Abbas received the invitation Saturday during a meeting with U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. The White House was not able to confirm the invitation. Abbas accepted the invitation which includes a meeting with President Bush, the Palestinian official said speaking on condition of anonymity. Of course he was anonymous -- no one wanted to claim this one! Rice is to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and senior Israeli officials later Sunday. We'd better treat the Israelis better than we treat Abbas. |
