Jordanian, Palestinian, Egyptian meeting on Saturday

A well-informed Jordanian source said on Tuesday that the foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan, Amr Moussa and Abd al-Ilah al-Khatib respectively, and Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat will hold a meeting on Saturday in Amman to hold discussions on the Middle East peace process.

The source added that the three officials will discuss "means of coordinating efforts for backing the Palestinians, before the meeting scheduled to be held between Yasser Arafat and Bill Clinton on March 23 in the White House."

The decision to convene such a meeting was taken during the short visit held by Arafat to Jordan on March 10, during which he held talks with Jordan's King Abdullah on means of relaunching the Middle East peace process.
