Obama to host tripartite meeting with Israeli PM and Palestinian President |
In an effort to renew the peace process in the Middle East, President
Barack Obama will host a tripartite meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday. White
House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the meeting would take place after Obama
meets separately with each of the two leaders. "These meetings will continue the
efforts of President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Special Envoy
George Mitchell to lay the groundwork for the relaunch of negotiations, and to
create a positive context for those negotiations so that they can succeed," the
Jerusalem Post quoted a White House statement, as saying. The meetings will take
place in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly conference.
The White House announcement of the meeting comes as something of a surprise,
since both Israel and the PA until Saturday continued to blame each other for
the current stall in peace talks And recently, Mitchell had failed to make progress
in talks with the two leaders. On Saturday, Mitchell said: "It is another sign
of the president's deep commitment to comprehensive peace that he wants to personally
engage at this juncture." |
