JERICHO - The EU's top diplomat said on Tuesday an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal was "doable" within nine months and that the issue of the Golan Heights should be addressed at the Annapolis peace conference this month.
"What we have in mind now is to finish the (Israeli-Palestinian)agreement after Annapolis in, let's say, eight, nine months -- during the period of time in which the administration, the present American administration, will stay in power," the European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, told Reuters in the West Bank town of Jericho.
"It's doable. It requires political will. It requires effort. It's not easy. But it's doable," Solana said.
