Olmert, Abbas Meet in Jordan


(Ynet News) Ronny Sofer - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met Thursday in Petra, Jordan, with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan's King Abdullah. The three decided to promote the establishment of a free trade zone in the Jordan Valley, east of Jenin. Olmert said he had decided to build an international joint airport in Aqaba, and promote a water pipeline from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, as well as joint copper mining in Timna and in Jordan. Abbas said Wednesday in Petra that "Israel must realize that we will not be able to accept a unilateral solution determined solely by its government....We will demand the 1967 borders."
