Tony Blair is planning to visit Israel in the run-up to Christmas, it was reported today.

The Prime Minister's trip was let slip by Israeli foreign minister Silvan Shalom in an interview with Israeli army radio.

Mr Blair believes the re-election of President George Bush and the death of Yasser Arafat offer a new opportunity to bring peace to the Middle East and his visit would be a chance to take this message directly to the Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

He will be looking for assurances from prime minister Ariel Sharon that the planned Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip marks the beginning of a renewed peace process, not a final gesture by Tel Aviv. Mr Blair is also expected to sound out plans for a summit on the peace process in London in 2005.

SOUNDS LIKE POODLE is on some sort of face-saving mission, maybe to hail a miracle cure for the current plague of locusts swarming in Israel's no 1 holiday resort Eilat???? Or to preach a new Sermon on the Mount???

the man has blood in his hands and an impeachment inquiry to face.
