Abbas and Olmert meet

Peace talks collapsed in 2000 just before the start of a Palestinian uprising and appeared all but dead when the Hamas Islamists took power in Gaza and the West Bank in March. Israel has been under pressure from the United States and the European Union to take steps to support Abbas since he called for early Palestinian elections, a move that Hamas has rejected as a "coup" and unconstitutional.
