[Jerusalem Post] Mark Weiss - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert hosted Mahmoud Abbas for two hours at his Jerusalem residence on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing peace negotiations between the sides. Olmert and Abbas will meet again in two weeks' time, and in the interim, the negotiators will continue to meet on an ongoing basis. Ahead of the meeting, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem that any agreement reached with the Palestinians would be subject to the implementation of their road map commitments. "The road to a Palestinian state goes through renunciation of violence and terrorism, responding to the situation in Gaza, and being more effective in the West Bank," Livni said.
