Bush to focus on reviving Mideast talks

By BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 35 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - With his chances to advance Middle East peace dwindling, President Bush on Monday will push again for a democratic Palestinian homeland that can coexist with Israel.

In New York for the yearly U.N. General Assembly meeting, Bush planned to begin three days of meetings with world figures by returning to a peace struggle that has lasted for decades.

His first order of business will be to meet with the leaders of the Palestinian Authority, President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. Bush has publicly endorsed the two as forces of moderation who are trying to set up a democratic society with a firm rule of law.

Bush will then get an update on the peace process from an old friend, former British prime minister Tony Blair. Blair is now a Mideast envoy for a coalition of four partners — the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia. He just returned from the region.
