Bush pledges aid to Palestinians

US President George W Bush has pledged $50m in direct aid for the Palestinian Authority, at a meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

He said that Israel must not take any actions that violated its roadmap obligations and said all settlement expansion on the West Bank must stop.

Mr Abbas is the first Palestinian leader to be hosted by Mr Bush.
