Whaddaya want, an engraved invitation?

Israeli PM Olmert claims to have made repeated offers to Lebanese PM Siniora (which Siniora says he never received and wouldn’t accept) to “sit down together, shake hands, make peace and end once and for all the hostility, fanaticism and hatred that part of his country feels towards us.” I don’t understand Siniora: who wouldn’t accept such a gracious offer? In a variant of that sentence, Olmert said he wanted to “sit, shake hands, make peace and end once and for all the hostility and jealousy”. I’d be interested to know what he thinks the Lebanese are jealous of.
