Road Map

According to Erekat, the document calls for a the establishment of a Palestinian State by June 2005; a total cessation of Israeli settlement activity; reopening of [PA] offices in East Jerusalem; complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from areas they occupied [since September 2001]; lifting of closure and siege orders, and a commitment from Israel to refrain from any attacks in Palestinian areas.

It calls on Palestinians to exert "every possible effort to stop the violence," he said, retrain its police force under American, Jordanian and Egyptian supervision; and engage in other reforms, which it has already undertaken, such as the appointment of a prime minister.

It specifies that negotiations between Israel and the PA should resume immediately on all issues, including Jerusalem, settlements, borders and refugees, he said.

All these measures should be taken in parallel order, Erekat said, not sequentially. Monitors would oversee the process, with mechanisms in place to solve disputes.

Saeb Erekat is only 2nd to Arafat in lies.

The Palestinians don't have a state for one reason. They don't want a state.

The Road Map is just another version of the same old Trojan Horse. Israel took it within her borders in 1993. She will not do it again.

Erekat says, "to stop the violence if possible." Sheesh! Erekat knows as well as anyone who is paying attention to the area that Arafat can stop the terror cold.. .he has proven in the past that he can.

But terror is giving them everything they want. So, they will just try to stop it if possible.

Please!
