Haim Malka, deputy director of the CSIS Middle East Program, was quoted by Reuters, "Israeli Bribery Scandal Clouds Bush Visit."
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When President George W. Bush accepted Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's invitation to Israel's 60th birthday celebration, there was little reason to think his visit would do much to advance Middle East peace prospects.
"It's highly unlikely Bush will get any real movement," said Haim Malka, a Middle East expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The constraints are numerous ... and Olmert's troubles add new complications."
