He will meet Palestinian PM Salam Fayyad and Jordan's King Abdullah, but not Lebanon's PM as had been planned.

Mr Bush will later urge the leaders to reject Iran and Syria, whom he called "spoilers" impeding progress, in a speech to the World Economic Forum.

On Saturday, he stressed his commitment to securing a Middle East peace deal.

The president made the remarks after holding talks with his Egyptian counterpart, Hosni Mubarak, and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

Reform call

In his weekly radio address, Mr Bush said that he would use his speech at the World Economic Forum on the Middle East on Sunday to again "make it clear that I believe we can get a [Palestinian] state defined by the end of my presidency".
