Olmert did not crawl out from under his desk when he met recently with TIME's Jerusalem bureau chief, Tim McGirk, and me at the Prime Minister's residence. He seemed charming and almost confident. And why not? He was suddenly a popular fellow in the diplomatic world. Not only was he being courted by Condoleezza Rice in her belated effort to unstick the Middle East peace process, but also the Saudi Arabians--the implacable Alpha Arabs--were again holding out the possibility of diplomatic recognition in return for a settlement with the Palestinians (on terms Israel could never accept...
