A U.S.-based foundation is hosting its first ever Middle East youth summit. Under the auspices of Seeds of Peace, some 75 high school students from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Jordan and Egypt will meet May 1-7 in Switzerland to discuss ways to advance the peace process. The youth’s peace summit is slated to coincide with U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s planned meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat next week in London.
