US: ROADMAP OBLIGATIONS NOT EQUAL
U.S. Official Says Israeli, PA Road Map Obligations Not Equal - Shmuel Rosner
Israeli and Palestinian obligations undertaken in the "road map" peace plan are not of equal importance, a senior U.S. State Department official said recently. The official said the Palestinian Authority's commitment to fight terror is more crucial than Israel's commitment to freeze settlement construction and evacuate illegal settlement outposts. The U.S. position on the PA's dismantling of armed organizations had not changed, the official emphasized. However, he said the U.S. had reconciled itself to waiting to deal with Hamas until after the PA elections. (Ha'aretz)
