Olmert and Abbas to Start U.S.-Arranged Talks
[Reuters] Adam Entous - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will meet on Sunday with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas under a U.S.-brokered deal, the first since they agreed to meet once every two weeks. Olmert has said Abbas' power-sharing partnership with Hamas Islamists and kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit's captivity meant no real progress towards Palestinian statehood could be made in their meetings. Olmert's office said the discussions would focus on humanitarian and security issues.
