Sharon, Abbas to meet
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas agreed to hold a summit later this month.
The Israeli prime minister and Palestinian Authority president, who had postponed a meeting scheduled for Sunday because of instability in the Gaza Strip, spoke by phone and exchanged Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan greetings.
According to Sharon aides, the two leaders agreed that the summit would be held later this month, ideally before Abbas flies to Washington to meet President Bush on Oct. 20. Abbas also called Israel’s president, Moshe Katsav, and wished him a happy new year — in Hebrew.
