President Bush arrived today to Israel in order to start his round in the West Bank and Israel, to meet Ehud Olmert and Abu Mazen and discuss with them the situation and where did they reach in their negotiations. President Bush said a few days ago in several interviews, that he is visiting the Middle East for two central reasons; to try to help in improve the negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians and try to come out with something that could lead to an agreement of establishing a Palestinian State until the end of 2008. The second reason is his discussion that he is willing to do in Saudi Arabia and the Arab Emirates to explain and agree with them on how the United States should deal and react with the Iranian Nuclear Project. Other Politicians said that this visit could lead to a declaration of a new propaganda declaration of the military and defense unity between Israel and the United States. Israel received President Bush with great security arrangements and reception, It is the first time that an American President come to visit Israel formally since ten years and they wanted to show him the best. On the other side the Palestinian Authorities with the cooperation and help of the federal American police and security men, are doing their best to assure the security of the American president when he goes to meet Abu Mazen in Ramala tomorrow. Some Israeli analysis said that it will be the most dangerous period and Eyes should be opened widely to prevent anything wrong from happening. The result of this visit could be good if Bush succeeds in starting a pressure on the both leaders to give more for the final negotiations and make them work more on achieving something as soon as they can in order to assure their people support again, because they really need it.From the American side, any achievement in the Peace process in the Middle East could bring back a great benefit on the international support for them to proceed on any future hard decisions of how to deal with the Iranian Case.
