THE ANTE GOES
UP BIG TIME!
 

Now, anyone who opposes diving up Israel is ...
 

                          'in opposition ... to the entire
international community.'

Excerpts
~~~~~~~~
 

SECRETARY RICE: .... And I might just note the roadmap is an
international document, so anybody who stands outside of the roadmap
or anybody who stands outside of support for a process that tries to
accelerate the roadmap is not in opposition to the United States, not
in opposition to the Israelis and Palestinians, but in opposition to
the entire international community.
 

FOREIGN MINISTER STEINMEIER: (Via interpreter) ... We know that
today's conference, today's meeting of the Quartet, is not a one-off
event, but we can only be credible if this becomes a long-term,
sustainable work process.

And thus, I am looking forward to -- I'm happy about the fact that
we've been able to agree on a second meeting of the Quartet to take
place once the trilateral talks have taken place amongst Prime
Minister Olmert, Mr. Abbas and our American colleague. And we will
then meet again fairly soon in Berlin, the same format that is.

SECRETARY RICE: Thank you very much.
