U.S. President George Bush is likely to visit Israel again later this year, Haaretz has learnt.

Bush is expected to attend an international convention which President Shimon Peres will hold in May to mark Israel's 60th anniversary. Bush was invited a few months ago, but only recently has Washington confirmed his participation.

The event is organized by a special team of The Jewish People Policy Planning Institute, an independent academic body affiliated to the Jewish Agency. It will deal with diverse issues, from the future of the Jewish people, to geo-politics, technology and environment.
