U.S President George W.Bush discussed The Middle East situation with secretary of state Condoleezza Rice earlier on Saturday.

The White House said Bush, who is on vacation at his Texas ranch, was briefed on The Israeli air strikes on Gaza by his national security adviser Stephen Hadley and spoke by telephone with Rice.

Olmert who will leave office after the February election has repeatedly said Israel does not want to re-occupy Gaza from which it withdrew ground forces and settlers in 2005.
