BEN GURION AIRPORT, Israel, July 22 (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama arrived in Israel on Tuesday for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

Obama's visit to Israel began just hours after a Palestinian rammed a bulldozer into vehicles on a busy Jerusalem street near the hotel where the candidate will be staying.

Obama will meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem, and will travel to the occupied West Bank where he will meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
