President George W. Bush on Tuesday called leaders of Saudi Arabia and Israel to discuss "the importance of pursuing the path to peace in the Middle East," the White House said.

Bush conducted the phone conversations with Saudi Arabian CrownPrince Abdullah abdul-aziz and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharonon Tuesday morning before leaving the White House to New York to deliver a speech on how to deal with corporate corruptions.

"He (Bush) discuss with each of them the responsibilities of thevarious parties to do their part," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters, without further elaboration.

Addressing a press conference at the White House on Monday, Bush said there was "some progress" in reforming the Palestinian Authority to build the institutions necessary for the emergence ofa Palestinian state.

In his new Middle East peace plan unveiled on June 24, the US president set Palestinian reforms and change of Palestinian leadership as preconditions for US support for the creation of an interim Palestinian state and eventual solution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
