(White House Report, May 29: Middle East, China) (380) The purpose of President Bush's June 4 meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas is to "take advantage of this moment" and "play a very helpful role in bringing Israelis and Palestinians together, to help them take concrete steps to implement the roadmap toward peace," White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer told reporters May 29. Fleischer said Bush hopes the meeting will produce "a willingness of the Israelis and the Palestinians to work together to implement the roadmap -- meaning Palestinians taking measurable, concrete actions to dismantle terrorism, the Israelis taking measurable, concrete actions to help improve the humanity -- the conditions of the Palestinian people, and a reaffirmation by both parties toward the vision of a two-state solution, as the roadmap lays out." "That's why he's going, to look the leaders of the Israelis in the eye and to look the leaders of the Palestinians in the eye, and say to them, 'you must make progress,'" Fleischer said. "'You must implement the roadmap. You must carry out our concrete obligations, the Palestinians on security, the Israelis on humane treatment of Palestinians, and a reminder that the vision is a two-state solution.'" While the meeting is scheduled to take place in Jordan "conditions permitting," Fleischer said May 29, "all systems are go." U.S., CHINESE PRESIDENTS TO DISCUSS NORTH KOREA While attending the G-8 Summit in France, President Bush will meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao on Sunday, June 1. Fleischer said the meeting between the two leaders would be "another important piece in making a determination about the next way, the next step, to proceed in dealings with North Korea." "The Chinese involvement in resolving the North Korea attempt to nuclearize the (Korean) peninsula is a very important involvement," Fleischer said. "The president wants to talk to the new Chinese president about this. And China is committed to this process; that's important, and the president wants to talk to them about that. I think there will be a number of other issues that come up with China as well, including trade and some other matters."
