In his trip to the Middle East, US President George Bush met and discussed with Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian government in Ramallah in the West Ban. He said in this meeting that the deadline for implementation of Middle East peace would be end of 2008. Another agreement would be signed in the next 12 month for peace stabilization between two sides.

In a press conference in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night, George Bush reiterated that Iran remains “a threat to world peace”.
President Bush said: We also talked about Iran. Iran is a threat to world peace. There was a recent intelligence report that came out that I think sent the signal to some that said perhaps the United States does not view an Iran with a nuclear weapon as serious — as a serious problem. And I want to remind people, Mr. Prime Minister, what I said at the press conference when I discussed that National Intelligence Estimate. I said then that Iran was a threat, Iran is a threat, and Iran will be a threat if the international community does not come together and prevent that nation from the development of the know-how to build a nuclear weapon. A country which once had a secret program can easily restart a secret program. A country which can enrich for civilian purposes can easily transfer that knowledge to a military program. A country which has made statements that it’s made about the security of our friend, Israel, is a country that needs to be taken seriously. And the international community must understand with clarity the threat that Iran provides to world peace.
And we will continue to work with European countries, Russia and China, as well as nations in this neighborhood, to make it abundantly clear that — the threat that Iran poses for world peace.
President Bush added: Let me remind you what the NIE actually said. It said that as far as the intelligence community could tell, at one time the Iranians had a military — covert military program that was suspended in 2003 because of international pressure. My attitude is that a non-transparent country, a country which has yet to disclose what it was up to, can easily restart a program. The fact that they suspended the program is heartening in that the international community’s response had worked. The fact that they had one is discouraging because they could restart it.
I have always told the American people that I believe it’s incumbent upon the American President to solve problems diplomatically. And that’s exactly what we’re in the process of doing. I believe that pressure — economic pressure, financial sanctions — will cause the people inside of Iran to have to make a considered judgment about whether or not it makes sense for them to continue to enrich or face world isolation. The country is paying an economic price for its intransigence and its unwillingness to tell the truth.
Mr. Bush took a hard line on Iran over its nuclear program and said that “all options are on the table” to guard against more military provocations like the Iranian threats to American ships in the Persian Gulf on Sunday.
“We have made it clear publicly, and they know our position,” Mr. Bush said. “There will be serious consequences if they attack our ships, pure and simple. And my advice to them is, Don’t do it.”
