President George W. Bush will meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Monday to review Middle East peace efforts.

Bush had hoped agreements which had been settled in previous meetings would have produced results before he left office.

Both leaders are leaving office in the next few months.

Bush will leave the White House on January 20 and an Israeli election in February will see Olmert go from his prime ministerial caretaker post.

The White House has said the president will be discussing with the prime minister the relationship between the United States and Israel and their continuing, mutual efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.
