Bush seeks formula to bring Jordan king to peace talks
Vice President George Bush met Jordanian officials as he planned talks with King Hussein aimed at bringing the monarch to direct negotiations with Israel. A U.S. official said Washington favors a setup acceptable to both sides, with Jordan urged to show support for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Bush urged direct Israeli Jordanian talks and planned to present ideas in Aqaba while noting $4.5 million in unspent foreign aid would be redirected to aid Palestinians in the West Bank. The move followed dinners with Hussein and Queen Noor and a shift to channel aid through the Jordanian government.
