The Bush administration has invested heavily in Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad. They have done so in the hope that the Texas-educated economist can help bring peace. Fayad favorite with Bush administration The United States recently provided USD 150mn to fund the government on the West Bank, Haaretz reported Saturday. Fayad, in return, has been willing to give his all to the peace process. He decided to attend a meeting in Jerusalem even after he learned that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak would be represented by an aide. He told Haaretz in an interview that a lot of people called him to urge him to stay away. "I did not have even a moment's hesitation," he said. " After all, the tripartite forum is not intended as a favor to us or to you. It is intended to move the process forward. As far as I am concerned, Israel can send anyone it wants. I will attend every meeting, and I don't care if politicians or media commentators lambaste me for it." Fayad also has the ear of U.S. President George Bush and his top advisers. Since his visit to Washington last month, the administration has taken a harder line with Israel on checkpoints and other sensitive issues.
