Rice promises 'Palestinian state coming soon'
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday cautioned Israel about continued building in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. "Settlement activity, both actions and announcements, is damaging"to peace prospects, Rice told a joint news conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah.She denied the Israeli-Palestinian peace process she sponsored was a failure, saying it should lay the ground for an eventual deal. Rice said Palestinians should "soon" have their own state, though she has made it clear she does not expect a breakthrough before Barack Obama moves into the White House. Posted by: Fred 2008-11-08 |
