Xavier told us about the Annapolis summit which took place on November 28. Bush presided over the formal relaunch of peace talks, inviting the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas to the White House.
Here is his opinion:
"So the initiative of President Bush can come as a surprise because it is the first one since his selection. That’s why the Islamic Jihad general secretary thinks that Bush is trying to use the Israeli-Palestinian problem in order to counter the Iranian nuclear development.In fact, the true success of American diplomacy is to have united 14 Arab states. Behind the appearance of an Israeli-Palestinian meeting, the conference is also aimed at confining Iranian ambitions in the region. It is rather paradoxical yet their common interest is to isolate Iran and Islamists, particularly Hammas, which can eventually pave the way to negotiation."

To my mind, it is clear that George W. Bush has a particular interest in the agreement between Israel and Palestine. Indeed, it is amazing that it is only the first time he do this in his two mandates.
Nevertheless, although we can be surprised about this decision, we can also say that it seems to be a good thing. Even if Bush has a particular interest in it, finding an agreement between Israel and Palestine is a good way to gather Arabian countries in a summit on the one hand, and to avoid links between Islamist terrorists and Iran on the other hand, since Iran seems to be developping nuclear industry.
