In our talks this morning, Prime Minister Abbas and I covered a range of issues. We discussed the impact on the Palestinian people of the limits on their freedom of movement, and the need to reduce the network of checkpoints and barriers.
Prime Minister Abbas shared his concerns about Israeli settlements, confiscation of land and the building of a security fence.
He also expressed his strong desire to see the release of many more Palestinian prisoners. We will continue to address these issues. We will address them carefully and seriously with the Palestinian and Israeli officials. We will work to seek solutions.
Confiscation huh? How about "securing" palie land from murdering terrorists?
The President amazes me with "something new" everyday!
Confiscation, sure, it means Israel gets to keep the land to the west of the fence. That's not what Arafat's map looks like.
