Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas will meet Sunday. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announced the summit Wednesday without elaborating on the agenda. The Palestinian Authority president had no immediate comment.
Sunday’s summit will be the first since Olmert and Abbas, meeting last month under the aegis of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, agreed to hold talks every two weeks to discuss Israeli-Palestinian rapprochement efforts.
