New U.S. Road Map Monitor Arrives
[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - Lt.-Gen. William Fraser, the new road map implementation monitor, arrived Sunday for intensive meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. According to a U.S. Embassy official, the purpose of his visit was to "discuss ways the two parties can move forward on their road map commitments." According to diplomatic officials, Fraser's role will be more as a "coach," pressing the sides to do what they obligated themselves to do under the road map, than as a "referee," publicly pointing out the infractions of either side. During his meeting with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Monday, she emphasized that implementation of the road map must be applied to Gaza as well.
