Sweden says Annapolis failure could damage Abbas
Failure to reach agreement at a high-stakes Middle East peace conference could lead to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas being removed from power, Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said Monday. Bildt said the Annapolis summit could be the last big opportunity for a genuine two-state solution in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Everyone realizes ... that if the talks fail, the situation in the region will certainly deteriorate dramatically, Bildt, who will attend the summit, wrote in an opinion article published in the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
