"A thought about the Road Map for Peace?"


I Thought this was interesting, the official target date for the final status peace agreement over Jerusalem was set in place back in 2002, the phases are being followed as outlined on there official site which is here: Road Map for Peace-
( http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2003/20062.htm )
The Peace Agreement is set to be made(confirmed) sometime in 2005.
Also interesting, is the fact that Javier Solana was given his position as High Representative on Oct. 18, 1999. He was given the position of Secretary General of the WEU on Nov. 25, 1999. This was six (6) years from the target date of the completion of the peace treaty. (Oct.-Nov. 2005)? hmmm
 
 

PHASE III:
PERMANENT STATUS AGREEMENT
AND END OF THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT 2004-2005

Progress into Phase III, based on consensus judgment of Quartet, and taking into account actions of both parties and Quartet monitoring. Phase III objectives are consolidation of reform and stabilization of Palestinian institutions, sustained, effective Palestinian security performance, and Israeli-Palestinian negotiations aimed at a permanent status agreement in 2005.

beginning of 2004 to endorse agreement reached on an independent Palestinian state with provisional borders and formally to launch a process with the active, sustained, and operational support of the Quartet, leading to a final, permanent status resolution in 2005, including on borders, Jerusalem, refugees, settlements; and, to support progress toward a comprehensive Middle East settlement between Israel and Lebanon and Israel and Syria, to be achieved as soon as possible.

Parties reach final and comprehensive permanent status agreement that ends the Israel-Palestinian conflict in 2005, through a settlement negotiated between the parties based on UNSCR 242, 338, and 1397, that ends the occupation that began in 1967, and includes an agreed, just, fair, and realistic solution to the refugee issue, and a negotiated resolution on the status of Jerusalem that takes into account the political and religious concerns of both sides, and protects the religious interests of Jews, Christians, and Muslims worldwide, and fulfills the vision of two states, Israel and sovereign, independent, democratic and viable Palestine, living side-by-side in peace and security.
