Rocket fire mars Bush trip to honor Israel anniversary
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English

JERUSALEM - President Bush was hailed as "a great leader" and "a great friend" of Israel at an emotional Academy Awards-style celebration of the country's 60th birthday here Wednesday night. (article 6) Four Palestinians were killed, including two militants, and nine were wounded in a series of Israeli Army strikes and incursions into Gaza, said medics and witnesses there. (article 6) JERUSALEM - President Bush put an optimistic face on fading hopes for Mideast peace yesterday, declaring that Israel's 60-year triumph over war and tragedy shows that democracy can succeed everywhere. (article 4) Allowing Iran to build nuclear weapons would mark an "unforgivable betrayal of future generations", George W. Bush told the Israeli parliament on Thursday, promising that the US would continue to stand with the Jewish state in future confrontations. (article 12) Some Israelis and Palestinians were disappointed that Bush failed to use his high-profile appearance to push the two sides to take the concrete steps to achieve his own goal of a peace deal before the end of his presidency. (article 11) The peace process is not dependent on a single individual, U.S. President George Bush said on Monday, indirectly responding to fears that the police investigation of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert could derail Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. (article 9)
