U.S. President George W. Bush will promote the Middle East peace process in his scheduled visit to the region, the White House said on Thursday.
"He'll be talking about Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation, as well as Israeli-Arab reconciliation, and the overall situation of ... Middle East regional security," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
Bush is due to kick off on Jan. 8 his visit to Israel and the Palestinian autonomous region in a bid to boost Middle East peace talks relaunched at an international conference in Annapolis, the United States, in November.
During his nine-day visit to the Middle East, Bush will also travel to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
Bush told mass media here that part of the reason for his trip to the Middle East is to warn countries in the region that nuclear armed Iran will be a danger to the Mideast region.
