...well as many Palestinians - have welcomed the emergence of a more democratically accountable and antiterrorist leadership around Prime Minister-designate Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen), nobody is expecting that he'll be willing to accept less than a settlement based on a modified version of the 1967 borders. Sharon, who fought tooth and nail against the Oslo peace process, has, until now, signaled that he has no intention of offering anything close to that - indeed, Israeli analysts believe Sharon's idea of Palestinian statehood doesn't extend much beyond a modified version of the 40-50 percent of the West...
...road map concept is pursued, the Bush administration may be faced with some tough choices in relation to its close alliance with Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon. Sharon insists that discussing the terms of Palestinian statehood, withdrawing Israeli troops from Palestinian towns and restricting settlement activity can only begin once violence has ended. That may no longer be possible if the road map is to be pursued: While it will likely take extensive account of Sharon's security concerns, a road map will also require him to sign on to timetables and specifics of Palestinian statehood and ending settlement activities...

That's an issue on which they may need a little forceful help from the international community, and yet the parameters of a settlement is an issue on which President Bush remained curiously silent. The administration has adopted its stance from Sharon himself - Israel is not required to make any movement towards ending its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and curbing settlement activity before the intifada ends. It's a significant break with U.S. policy...
...only a return to the 1967 borders but the elimination of the State of Israel. Still, there is no Palestinian leader of any inclination willing to accept anything less than a settlement based on the 1967 borders (or a modified version of those). And Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon has made clear he has no intention of offering anything close to such a settlement - indeed, Israeli analysts believe Sharon's idea of Palestinian statehood doesn't extend much beyond a modified version of the almost 50 percent of the West Bank and Gaza currently designated as under Palestinian Authority rule...
