President Bush spoke to Arab leaders about Israeli-Palestinian peace. Bush spoke Sunday to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. “A good portion of the calls yesterday were focused on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and how we move forward to bring about the president’s two-state vision,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Monday. “And there was a lot of discussion about the importance of supporting Palestinian leaders and the Palestinian people as they move forward to put in place the institutions necessary for a democratic state to emerge.”
