PrintRice prepares for Bush’s Israel visit
Condoleezza Rice is heading to Israel this week to make final preparations for President Bush’s visit.
The U.S. secretary of state on Thursday will begin another Israeli-Palestinian troubleshooting mission that will last through the weekend, according to the State Department.
Rice has been visiting Jerusalem and Ramallah on an almost monthly basis recently in a bid to advance peace talks launched at last year’s conference in Annapolis, Md.
Bush will arrive in Israel in mid-May for Israel’s 60th Independence Day celebrations. U.S. officials say he hopes to be able to make an announcement about progress in negotiations on the creation of a Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state.
