Bush administration to intervene in
the rapidly worsening Israeli-
Palestinian crisis.
But there was little indication the
administration was prepared to alter
an approach that puts the emphasis on
pressuring Arafat to end the violence
as a precondition of further U.S.
involvement.
"We have to do whatever we cart,
with the administration here, to bring
the two parties together," Mubarak
said during a speech to the Council on
Foreign Relations. The Israelis and
Palestinians, he said, "have to sit,
whether they like it or not. We have to
find a solution. They have to break the
vicious circle and sit and exchange
views with the help of the United
States and Egypt and other countries."
He also said he is ready to host an
Arafat:Sharon summit in Egypt. Like
Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, he first
revealed his proposal to an American
journalist. But administration officials,
while praising the offer, made it clear
that their assessment of what it will
take to end the downward spiral in the
region is unchanged.
"We welcome the Egyptian role, and
we've worked closely with the
Egyptians in that," said State
Department spokesman Richard
Boucher on Tuesday. "But clearly the
imperative right now is to do what we
can with the parties to get the violence
to stop."
Boucher also denied reports in the
Israeli press that the Bush administra-
tion was getting ready to send Gen.
Anthony Zinni, the special Mideast
envoy whose two previous visits were
cut short, back to the region.
"He will go back when it's appropri-
ate and useful," Boucher said. "The
point is that we don't send envoys just
to have somebody out there. We send
envoys out when there's something
useful that can be done, and that
requires a certain willingness of the
parties to take the steps that are neces-
sary to stop the violence."
Once again, he put most of the onus
on Arafat "to take steps to stop the
violence, to take steps to dismantle the
groups that perpetrate the violence."
Robert 0. Freedman, a Mideast
scholar in Baltimore and peace process
supporter, said that Mubarak's summit
offer is motivated by three factors.
"First, Egypt resents that the Saudis
have upstaged them as a key player,"
he said. "And they would like to get
faster disbursement of their (U.S.)
economic aid. He probably would
like to get the peace process back on
track, but that's probably only the
