Bush will be in Jordan, Egypt and Qatar next week for summits with Middle
East leaders. White House says he will see King Abdullah in Aqaba Wednesday and
also Sharon and Abbas “if environment is ripe for productive talks.” US
President will meet Arab leaders separately at Sharm first and review US troops in
Qatar Thursday

Abu Mazen and Sharon finally get to meet Thursday to lay groundwork for
summit with Bush

DEBKAfile’s Palestinian sources: After tying Palestinian PM’s hands, Arafat
lets him go ahead to meet Bush and Sharon. He calculates those encounters no
longer pose threat to his position or strategy.

He is focusing now on coordinating terrorist arms of Hamas, Fatah-Tanzim and
al Aqsa Brigades to synchronize next wave of violence that will torpedo any
progress reached at Aqaba summit

Hamas leader Sheikh Yassin offers to weigh temporary ceasefire if Israel
ceases military anti-terror action and frees all prisoners. DEBKAfile: Arafat and
Yassin join forces to prove pace of events is not set by Abbas and Dahlan

Earlier, Arafat tied Abbas’s hands by calling PLO Executive into session
Tuesday to confirm Arafat’s guideline to Abu Mazen vis a vis Bush and Sharon.

DEBKAfile’s Palestinian sources reveal he is told to insist Israel carry out
road map provisions without delay - quit Palestinian towns, release frozen
funds and reopen Palestinian offices in Jerusalem. The Palestinians will take
their time.
