Bush praises Abbas
President George W. Bush praised Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday for his efforts to form a national unity government and Mr Abbas pleaded for US assistance, saying "we are in dire need."
Mr Bush and Mr Abbas met for 40 minutes on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Mr Bush called Mr Abbas a "man of peace" - a show of support for the Palestinian moderate, whose Fatah Party lost elections last January to the militant group Hamas, which wants to destroy the state of Israel.
