Annapolis Peace Summit -Will Bush Ask Israel To Return To 1967 Borders
November 26, 2007
If true, time is surely short.

According to the leading correspondent covering the Israeli Prime Ministers Office, Shimon Shiffer of Yediot Ahronot Israels largest newspaper, President Bushs address at Annapolis “will not be easy for Israeli ears.” In Fridays magazine, he argues, in an article co-authored by his colleague Nahum Barnea, that Bush will call for “the estabishment of a Palestinian state, the end of occupation, and a return of Israel to the 1967 borders, leaving an opening for land swaps.”
The authors explain that Olmert knows that “this text cannot be changed.”
If the report is true, and both of these reporters have direct access to Olmert, then Bush is close to abandoning the April 2004 gurantees on settlement blocs and “defensible borders” that he gave in writing to former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. That letter was all Israel received for pulling 9,000 Israelis out of their homes in the Gaza Strip.

In Sundays Maariv newspaper, Ben Caspit, its chief foreign affairs correspondent, is reporting that there is a struggle in Washington today over the contents of the Bush Annapolis address, with the Saudis, Rice, and Israel all pulling in different directions.

But it is also difficult to explain the sudden decision of the Saudis to attend Annapolis at the level of foreign minister, unless someone in the administration gave them some guarantees.
