Fatah Delegation Invited by Washington Institute

(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Hatem Abdel Kader, Ahmed Ghnaim, and Kadoura Fares - who participated in the negotiations on the "Geneva Initiative" - have been invited to Washington by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank headed by former U.S. Middle East envoy Dennis Ross. The three are expected to meet with U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs David Satterfield, as well as with members of Congress and Jewish leaders. The Fatah team will call on the U.S. to end its boycott of Arafat. "We will stress that President Arafat is the elected leader of the Palestinian people and that Washington must talk to him directly," Abdel Kader said. The Fatah officials will also brief the Americans on the "Geneva Initiative." Fatah official Muhammad Hourani said on Sunday that the Fatah leaders are visiting Washington "on the instructions of Arafat."
