Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert knows that the most important political relationship of his office is the one with the occupant of the White House. That's why he agreed, this week, to indulge President Bush's insistence that Israel seek a negotiated agreement with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas before moving ahead with plans to unilaterally redraw its border. After all, Olmert had actually campaigned on the promise of acting unilaterally to finalize Israel's borders, and he has made no secret that he sees Abbas as a lame duck. The Palestinian leader is not trusted...
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's first visit to the Bush White House was a sad reminder of just how little has changed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past six years.

...Olmert's Ambitions Prime minister Ehud Olmert states that it is time for Israel to end the struggle with the Palestinians with the goal of "living in peace" [April 17]. The delusions of politicians never cease to amaze me. Can Olmert explain how he would achieve peace by unilaterally setting the border, thereby annexing as much as half of the West Bank and Jerusalem and leaving 4 million Palestinians in a series of disconnected cantons?
