Both Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak and the Saudis have emphasized the need for progress on the Israeli-Palestinian front before any action on Iraq could even be considered.

...postponed - may simply drift into oblivion. The Israelis insist they won't talk to Arafat, and it remains abundantly clear that no Palestinian will step forward to negotiate with Israel. Much now depends on what transpires over the next week when Bush meets first with Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, and then with Sharon. Bush is unlikely to hear much that will please him.
