Bush Rejects Abbas Call for Final-Status Talks
(Ha'aretz) By Akiva Eldar, Nathan Guttman, and Arnon Regular - An official in Prime Minister Sharon's office said Thursday that President Bush rejected a demand by Abbas at their meeting to skip the road map's intermediate phase to move directly to final-status talks. The Israeli official insisted there was nothing new in Bush's statements about the settlements, and also expressed satisfaction over the fact that Bush did not give Abbas any written document similar to his letter to Sharon last April.
