United States President George Bush is now in Saudi Arabia following a three-day visit to Israel.



His talks with Israel’s King Abdullah and are expected to focus on oil production and Iran\'s nuclear activities.



While not visiting the West Bank or Gaza Strip, Mr. Bush is due to meet the Palestinian leader in Egypt later.



According to BBC reports, King Abdullah is expected to reject a renewed appeal to increase Saudi oil production to reduce soaring fuel prices.



However, correspondents said the two leaders are likely to find common ground on Iran, which they see as a rising threat to Middle East stability.
