United States Vice President Richard Cheney is due to visit the Middle East in the coming days, according to Fox News Monday.

Cheney is scheduled to meet in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and in Ramallah with PLO chief terrorist Mahmoud Abbas.

But while he will visit with these two leaders, Fox News analysts said, the Vice President does not plan to "encroach" on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's "turf" and will not meddle with efforts to carve a "State of Palestine" out of Israel's biblical homeland.

A statement released by Cheney's office said "President Bush has asked the vice president to travel to Oman, Saudi Arabia, Israel, the West Bank, and Turkey for discussions with these key partners on issues of mutual interest," Cheney's office stated.

The main focus of Cheney's visit is understood to be the Iranian nuclear threat.
