Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon may have set a six-month ultimatum for the Palestinians offering them partnership or pullout but President Bush is counseling patience and adherence to existing peace initiatives.
Bush met with Jewish lay and communal leaders at the White House on Monday for the traditional annual Chanukah celebration.
