Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (R) shakes hands with Russian Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov during a meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah April 12, 2007. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will meet on Sunday with Abbas under a U.S.-brokered deal but Israel made clear the focus would not be on steps toward a Palestinian state as Abbas hoped.
