Occupied Jerusalem: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told Palestinian radio on Tuesday morning that Abbas will be meeting with Olmert in his house on Wednesday.
Olmert's office later confirmed the meeting.
This will be the first meeting between the two since Olmert announced he would step down in September under a cloud of corruption charges.
