PM Olmert: I'm ready to meet Abbas
(VIDEO) Israeli PM meets with British premier in Jerusalem Saturday evening, tells reporters following meeting he is willing to 'work closely' with PA president to advance progress on Road Map peace plan
But Olmert stressed that securing the release of a soldier captured by Gaza terrorists was top of the agenda ahead of any meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on a stalled peace Road Map.
"I assured Prime Minister Blair that I am ready to work closely with Chairman of the Palestinian Authority Abbas to implement the road map," Olmert told a news conference side by side with Blair in Jerusalem.
When will Israel have leadership that is willing to tell the world that peace with the Palestinians is a dead issue and that Israel will never give up land again?
