Jordan's Abdullah visiting Ramallah but not Jerusalem
Jordan's King Abdullah is visiting Ramallah on Monday to meet with 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President "King Abdullah II will on Monday visit Ramallah for talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the framework of Jordan's efforts to support the Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian people," the agency said.In an interview with Israel Radio, Kadima number 2 Shaul Mofaz said that the fact that Abdullah is not visiting Jerusalem reflects the 'failure' of the Netanyahu government to advance the 'peace process.' Mofaz said that he - and implicitly not his party's leader, Tzipi Livni - would soon challenge Netanyahu for the Prime Minister's office. Israelis are wildly excited about the prospect of voting for Mofaz. Heh.
The visit, which Petra said would express support for efforts "to achieve peace and the creation of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders," comes at a delicate political time for Abbas.
