(IsraelNN.com) The Bush administration's national Security advisor, Stephen Hadley, told reporters Wednesday afternoon that the timing is not right for a three-way meeting between American President George W. Bush, Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) when the president visits Israel next week. The president also will visit Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but the PA is not on his agenda.

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas stated last week that any leader who visits Israel for the Jewish state's 60th anniversary celebrations should be boycotted.
