Israel’s new prime minister, Ehud Olmert, we’ve learned from trusted sources, plans to meet with President Bush in Washington on May 8 and 9. The brief visit, which is being kept under wraps and hasn’t been officially announced or confirmed by the White House, is expected to cost the Israeli government about $1 million per day in security. No word on whether Bush will entertain the prime minister at lunch or dinner, but it’s certainly an important priority for Olmert to meet with the president, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at this critical time in the Middle East. Topic A on the agenda will be Iran.
