Immigrants will receive hot meals and showers there, but, unlike the shuttered shelter in Sangatte, no one will be allowed to sleep in the building.

Israel gets recognized. Hamas gets the boot. Two years ago, Syrian President Bashar Assad told me he wanted to reopen talks with the Israelis. When I asked Olmert about Assad, he didn't say no--but he wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as he was about the Saudis.
