Saudi King Abdullah spoke with US President George W. Bush Tuesday and praised his initiative for a summit designed to revive the "peace process" in the Middle East.
Arab League Secretary General Amru Moussa also voiced satisfaction with what they termed the "positive sections" in Bush's speech.
The Palestinian Authority Chairman's spokesman, Nabil Abu Rdeina, said Bush's speech was an important step, and said that the summit needed to create a mechanism for implementing the Road Map to Peace and the Arab Peace Initiative.
