In pictures: Bush in West Bank

President Bush has held talks with Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, in the West Bank town of Ramallah.

He predicted that there would be a Middle East peace treaty within a year, giving the Palestinians their own state.

Mr Bush promised to put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Mr Abbas to come together to make tough choices.

A BBC correspondent says many Palestinians feel the trip is less about substance and more about show.

Palestinian security forces used tear gas and batons to break up a small demonstration against Mr Bush's visit.

Mr Bush was driven to Ramallah, but better weather allowed him to fly to Bethlehem, where he visited the Church of the Nativity.
