Blair Arrives in Israel

(Ha'aretz)Aluf Benn and Arnon Regular - British Prime Minister Blair arrived in Jerusalem Tuesday from Iraq, and will meet Wednesday with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The focus of Blair's visit is his initiative for a conference in London at the end of February to strengthen the new Palestinian leadership. Israeli Prime Minister Sharon said Tuesday that Israel will support the conference but will not attend. "Since the initiative is meant to deal with the relationship between the Palestinians and the donor countries, there is no point to us attending, because it will transform the conference into something political. The goal is to encourage the new leadership to impose law and order, back to normal life and a war on terror, and our presence won't help and could hurt," Sharon said.
