British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has met Israeli leaders on his first visit to Jerusalem since becoming premier in a bid to bolster peace negotiations and economic development.
The visit, which will also take him to the occupied West Bank, is aimed at revitalising sluggish Middle East peace talks and pressing his "economic roadmap" to peace, which is based on improving the Palestinian economy. Brown will also meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem. He has been invited to address the Israeli parliament on Monday, the first time a British premier will make a speech at the Knesset.
