U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow arrived in Israel on Monday, launching a 10-day Middle East tour. Originally, his scheduled meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders had been expected to focus on economic projects that would draw Palestinian support for the U.S.-backed “road map” to peace; instead, Snow is now considered likely to discuss the burgeoning violence in the region and Israeli plans for Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat.
