Powell will hold talks with Israeli and Palestinian officials next Sunday and Monday, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department announced. The talks are expected to focus on how to restart peace talks following the death of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat. On Tuesday, President Bush named Condoleezza Rice to replace Powell, who resigned this week.
