Quds city, November 04, SPA -- US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has arrived in Jerusalem - her eighth visit to the city this year - for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, BBC reported today. Her visit comes ahead of a planned US-sponsored international conference aimed at injecting life into the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. She is due to meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, then Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. What Condoleezza Rice wants on her visit she is pretty sure she is not going to get, BBC Middle East correspondent Katya Adler reports from Jerusalem. She had hoped for a joint Israeli-Palestinian document outlining the principles by which a Palestinian state could eventually be established.

Olmert and Abbas met last week in Jerusalem. --MORE
