Carter, Annan plan visit to Israel, Gaza to help negotiate ceasefire
Oh, goody...Former US president Jimmy Carter and former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan wish to arrive in Israel in the coming months in order to help negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Army Radio reported. Hamas wants y'all to start buildin new crematoriums, Ehud. Ah don't see that as a problem, do you, Kofi? Certainly not, Jimmy. Perhaps this could be a starting point in the negotiations. Is the dinner menu here yet? The two contacted the Prime Minister's Office and requested to meet Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. ...and can we enter through the Attention Whore entrance? Thanks so much. They also asked to be allowed in the Gaza Strip to meet with Hamas officials. Sure. Just don't let them back out. According to the report, Israel is opposed to the initiative, but officials said that Jerusalem would be well advised to try and channel the visit into a positive track so as not to damage the country's image in the media. Yeah, really. Wouldn't wanna damage all that glowing coverage the media gives the Israelis... Posted by: tu3031 2008-03-05 |
