Sharon to meet Bush as troops enter West Bank
Israeli troops entered another West Bank city early today as Washington announced that President George Bush would meet Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon next week in fresh efforts to bring calm to the Middle East and renew peace talks.
The tanks entered Jenin from the north and south, firing heavy machine guns before pulling back to the edges of the city, Palestinians said. Troops also entered a refugee camp near the West Bank city of Nablus where they have occupied several areas since Friday.
