New Mid-East peace plan launched
International mediators have presented their long-awaited "roadmap" to peace in the Middle East to both sides in the conflict.
Copies of the plan were delivered on Wednesday to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud Abbas - also known as Abu Mazen - whose appointment was a key step towards its launch.
It is intended to be a phase-by-phase route to ending conflict, and could lead to full Palestinian statehood as early as 2005.
A bomb attack in Tel Aviv in which three people were killed by a suicide bomber failed to delay its publication.
The "roadmap" was drafted by envoys from the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia.
It calls initially for an immediate ceasefire, a crackdown on Palestinian militants, an Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian towns and the dismantling of Jewish settlements erected since 2001.
However
officials on both sides have reacted guardedly to the launch of the plan.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Sofer told the BBC: "Before anything can happen we are hoping and praying that Abu Mazen takes the bull by the horns and implements what he said he would... He has to really bring an end to terrorism."
Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi, for her part, urged the international community "to make sure that Israel complies by stopping this policy of assassinations, incursions, killings, home demolitions, land confiscations, expansion of settlements".
---------------------------------
ROADMAP: WHAT WE KNOW
Phase 1: End of terrorism, normalisation of Palestinian life and Palestinian political reform; Israeli withdrawal and end of settlement activity
Phase 2: Creation of an independent Palestinian state; Palestinian elections and international monitoring of compliance with roadmap
Phase 3: Permanent status agreement and end of conflict; agreement on final borders, Jerusalem, refugees and settlements; Arab states to agree to peace deals with Israel
---------------------------------
I think it really is sad that both sides had the same response - basically "you stop what you're doing, then we'll stop." Thoughts?
