Olmert ready for talks with Abbas

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said he is ready to begin talks with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to advance peace efforts.

Mr Olmert said the meeting was not conditional on the release of the Israeli soldier, Cpl Gilad Shalit, held by Palestinian militants.

But he said the soldier's release would be at the top of the agenda.

His remarks came after a meeting with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is seeking to revive the peace process.

Talks, Talks, Talks. All what Israel has is just talking about peace. More than 20 years Israel is talking about peace with Palestinians wih no actions.

But, what they are really doing seriously is killing of Palestinians on daily basis. May be they want to finish Palestinians so if they are forced to peace one day, there will be no Palestinians.
