President Bush called Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas to calm fury and push both parties to continue moving forward on the road map.

Guests:

Tom Segev, columnist for the Israeli daily "Ha'aretz" and author of several books on Israel

Saeb Erekat, former Palestinian negotiations minister, currently a member of the Palestinian Council

This program aired on May 20, 2003.
