The Bush administration will not force Israel into concessions, top White House officials told representatives of the Lubavitch movement.
Chabad-Lubavitch culminated a two-day commemoration of the 12th anniversary of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson’s death with meetings Wednesday with Michael Chertoff, the Homeland Security secretary, and Joshua Bolten, the White House chief of staff. Both men are Jewish.
Bolten and other White House officials assured Chabad representatives that President Bush would never force Israel to concede territory to the Palestinians, participants said.
Bolten said Bush would follow Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s lead in deciding what concessions to support.
