Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday that the talks on
Palestinian statehood would begin soon, but he also warned there were
difficulties ahead.
"Certainly in a very short time we will have to sit down,
and there will be more meetings between the teams on both sides," Olmert told
reporters.
"We are entering a process that has infinite bumps in the road but
we want to move forward," he said.
The visiting Israeli Prime Minister also
urged the Palestinian side to stop attacks from the Gaza Strip if they want to
implement a future peace deal.
"We do not differentiate between the West Bank
and Gaza. Gaza is part of the Palestinian commitment to fight terror," Olmert
said.
