Israel: No Talks on Core Issues "At This Stage"
[Reuters] Adam Entous - Israel on Tuesday ruled out negotiations "at this stage" on the borders of a future Palestinian state. "Israel has openly stated that we're willing to talk about issues of 'political horizon' and about how to achieve the vision of two states for two peoples," said Olmert spokeswoman Miri Eisin. "But we have been very clear that we are not willing to discuss at this stage the three core issues of borders, refugees and Jerusalem." A senior Israeli official said Israel was counting on Bush insisting that Palestinians rein in militants before advancing to talks about borders.
