ISRAELOlmert wants talks with Palestinians Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sept. 4 signaled a need to pursue talks with the Palestinians, apparently edging away from a unilateral West Bank pullback plan that swept him to power in March. There have been no official contacts between Israel and the Palestinians since Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction, won Palestinian parliamentary elections in January. But with Israel's recent war against Lebanese guerrillas putting a chill on Olmert's program -- to uproot Jewish settlements and unilaterally draw Israel's border with the West Bank -- the Israeli leader again broached the idea of talks.
