10. The US, Russia, the European
Community and the UN, the so called "Quartet", have put forward a
"roadmap" for the implementation of a final settlement within 3
years. The plan includes a demand for political reforms in the Palestinian
authority including a constitution and election of a strong Prime Minister,
stopping the incitement and violence on both sides under the Quartet's
supervision, a demand for freeze on settlements and the establishment of a
Palestinian State within provisional borders by the end of next year. The
next phase will see negotiations on the final borders under the hospices of
an international conference. Do you support or oppose this initiative? |
