Rice: No Timetable for Final Status Accord
[Ynet News] Yitzhak Benhorin - Secretary of State Rice said Monday there was no need to set a timetable for reaching a permanent accord between Israelis and Palestinians as a pre-condition for the Annapolis conference set for November. She hinted that the conference could be delayed until December if necessary. According to Rice, the U.S. needs to allow the Israelis and Palestinians to be "realistic with each other about what they can achieve" before the international conference. "This is the beginning of negotiations, not the end. We don't need to try to go too far," Rice said.
