The meeting between retired Saudi general Anwar Eshki and ministry Director General Dore Gold took place at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. Israeli media reported that Eshki was leading a delegation of "businessmen and academics" on a mission to promote a stalled Saudi-led 2002 Arab peace initiative. He reportedly met with Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, head of the COGAT, the military body that coordinates Israeli activities in the West Bank and Gaza, and talked Friday in the West Bank to a group of Israeli opposition MKs.
