Secretary of State George Shultz may visit Israel in the next few months for another try at reviving the stalemated Middle East peace process, Cabinet Secretary Yossi Beilin told reporters Sunday.
He spoke after Sunday’s Cabinet session at which Premier Shimon Peres briefed the ministers on his four-day visit to the U.S. last week which included meetings with Shultz and with Vice President George Bush. Bush last Tuesday accepted Peres’ invitation to visit Israel this spring, though no date was set.
Beilin did not quote Peres directly with respect to a visit by Shultz but said “there is such a possibility.” Asked when, he replied, “It could be in the coming months.”
