By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Mahmoud Abbas, Ramallah 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for January 8, 2008.

Bush lands in Israel on Wednesday, and is scheduled to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas the following day.

However, attempts at beautification haven't managed to positively color Palestinian public opinion ahead of the visit.
