Israelis expect mostly traffic jams from Bush's visit

By Cliff Churgin, McClatchy Newspapers Tue Jan 8, 4:25 PM ET

JERUSALEM — When President Bush lands in Tel Aviv on Wednesday for the first U.S. presidential visit to Israel in nine years, Israelis anticipate only minor results in the stalled Arab-Israeli peace negotiations but major congestion.

On the eve of his visit, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas gave their special negotiating teams the go-ahead to begin trying to craft compromises on the most contentious issues at the heart of the conflict. Bush isn't planning a three-way meeting with Olmert and Abbas, however.

He'll stay at the King David hotel, a favorite among wealthy American tourists and a historic Jerusalem landmark, once the military headquarters of the British Mandate. In 1946, Jewish militants who were fighting to rout the British forces in Palestine and create a Jewish state blew up a wing of the hotel, killing 91 people.

Guests have been cleared from the hotel's 237 rooms to make way for the Bush entourage.
