Olmert's Back to Converging

Ehud Olmert, at Ben-Gurion's grave, said:

"We, the state of Israel, will agree to the evacuation of many territories and the settlements that we built there. This is extremely difficult for us, like the splitting of the Red Sea. We will do it for real peace"


and he said:

He promised a Palestinian state "with territorial contiguity in Judea and Samaria," and borders that will be defined "in accordance with President Bush's April 14th, 2004 letter to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon - borders that will be different from the territories currently under Israel's control."


and his site reports this text:-

In the framework of this dialogue, and in accordance with the Roadmap, you will be able to establish an independent and viable Palestinian State, with territorial contiguity in Judea and Samaria – a State with full sovereignty and defined borders.

In this framework, the borders of the State of Israel will be defined, in accordance with President Bush's April 14th, 2004 letter to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

These borders will be different from the territories currently under Israel's control.


We, the State of Israel, will agree to the evacuation of many territories and communities which were established therein. This is extremely difficult for us, akin to the Parting of the Red Sea, but we will bear it, in exchange for true peace.


Some people just never learn.
