Israel's foreign minister met his Palestinian counterpart on Monday for the first time since the death of Yasser Arafat and hailed new chances for peace in the Middle East as the EU promised to support their efforts. "Both of us agreed that we are having a window of opportunity. It might even be a door of opportunity," Silvan Shalom told a news briefing after talks with Nabil Shaath. "I believe that in the new era we might have a new pragmatic, responsible and moderate Palestinian leadership. It is very important to translate words into actions." |
