Despite reports to the contrary, U.S. President George Bush has no intention of meeting Yasser Arafat in the coming month. So reports CNN. The State Department is in favor of such a meeting which, according to rumours, was to have taken place during the UN General Council session two weeks from now, but the White House, at this point at least, does not agree. The meeting between Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Arafat, however, is still on for this week, according to foreign sources.
