Palestinian, Israeli leaders
pledge to look to the future
By Alexandra Zavis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Standing
side by side, the Israeli and
Palestinian prime ministers
rededicated themselves Tuesday
to peace efforts and spoke of a
shared future for their peoples,
using conciliatory language not
heard here in three years.
Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud
Abbas declared their readiness
to “put the past behind us” as
they met for the third time in six
weeks to plan their next moves
on the U.S.-backed “road map”
to peace.
At the outdoor ceremony in
front of Sharon’s office, the
Israeli defense minister and the
Palestinian security chief— bit
ter enemies not so long ago —
sat next to each other and chat
ted amicably.
The summit came during a
week of important peace strides:
Three main Palestinian militant
groups declared a temporary halt
in attacks on Israelis and Israeli
forces handed over security con
trol in parts of the Gaza Strip to
Palestinians.
In the West Bank, Israeli
troops prepared to pull out of the
Palestinian town of Bethlehem
— giving further momentum to
efforts to implement the plan to
end 33 months of violence and
establish a Palestinian state by
2005.
Both prime ministers commit
ted themselves Tuesday to the
peace effort launched by President
Bush at a June 4 summit.
“Even if we are required to
make painful compromises, I
will be willing to make them for
the sake of true peace — a peace
for generations, the peace that
we all yearn for,” Sharon said.
Abbas, who stood behind his
lectern alongside Sharon,
responded by declaring it’s timt
to “put the past behind us.”
“Enough suffering, enoiijli
death, enough pain. Let us si#
forward with courage and#
out hesitation to the futurewei
deserve,” he said.
The two leaders,
senior Cabinet ministers
aides, then withdrew for
hours of talks aimed at
disputes over their next moves,
including the pace of an Israeli
troop withdrawal from Wesl
Bank towns and the scope ofa«
expected release of
security prisoners.
The premiers agreed to
tivate committees set up d
the first years of peace effc
the 1990s to discuss i
including security, prisonersaad
legal matters, according to
cials on both sides. The
tees were suspended during tilt
current violence.
