Olmert: Israel, Palestinians closer than ever to reaching peace

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met Sunday with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in Paris. At the end of the meeting, Olmert said that despite the differences, "Israel and the Palestinians have never been closer to reaching peace."

 

As for the peace talks with Syria, Olmert said that "while the talks are indirect at this time, we hope to make the negotiations direct in the near future. This avenue will not be pursued at the expense of the Palestinian one." (Roni Sofer, Paris)
