President Bush invited Israel and the Palestinian leaders to a meeting on November 27 in an attempt to launch peace talks for the creation of a Palestinian state. Although Bush is set to leave office in just 14 months, he obviously still feels obligated to see that this issue reaches a resolution. Dozens of countries, particularly those neighboring Israel, are to send over 100 delegates and representatives to the meeting to provide political leverage to both sides. Saudi Arabia was also asked to attend. The meeting will take place in Annapolis, Maryland. This is the first new series of negotiations to take place since the year 2000.
