Olmert Agrees to Speed up Talks to Establish PA Stateby Hana Levi JulianPrime Minister Ehud Olmert declared Monday that Israel will work toward the establishment of a Palestinian Authority State. The statement was made after a 90 minute meeting with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s at the InterContinental Hotel in Jericho.
It was the first time an Israeli head of state attended a meeting in a PA-controlled city, and a move toward final status talks that Olmert vowed to avoid, prior to his meeting with Abbas.
The two men agreed to meet regularly to prepare for a Middle Eastern summit organized by the United States, scheduled for this autumn. They also agreed to speed up progress in their talks.
“We decided to increase contacts to advance understandings and reach a working model that will allow progress towards establishing a Palestinian state,” announced Olmert after the meeting.
“The aim is to achieve U.S. President George Bush’s vision of two countries for two peoples, living in security and peace side by side,” said the prime minister.
