Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) has called on President Bush to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories as a way to provide the sustained leadership necessary to make progress toward a Middle East peace settlement.

“It is not enough to hold a conference or give a speech and then drop the issue for months on end,” Biden said. “The peace process requires day-in, day-out engagement, starting with the president.”
He noted that Bush has not visited Israel during his more than six years in office. If he makes his first trip to that country and the Palestinian territories, said Biden, “he can play a more informed and active role in pushing the process forward.”
