Mr. Olmert says it is important to talk to Palestinian moderates like Mr. Abbas, who is also known as Abu Mazen.
"I will not cut my contacts with Abu Mazen. I will continue to maintain the bilateral4 track," he said. "I will meet with Abu Mazen, hoping to create the necessary environment that will be helpful for the relations between us and them."
However, Israel is not willing to open formal peace talks as long as Hamas refuses to renounce5 violence and recognize the Jewish state. Therefore, the summit will focus on humanitarian6 issues.
"We want to contribute to the quality of life of the Palestinian people living in Gaza and in the West Bank in cooperation with Abu Mazen," he said.
Mr. Abbas wants to go beyond humanitarian issues and open talks on a final peace agreement and the creation of a Palestinian state.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat says it is time "...to move to a realistic political track, to move from words to deeds because creating the political horizons is the most important thing for Palestinians and Israelis in the region."
Erekat said the meeting is "very important" but added that he is not going to "exaggerate expectations."
