Obama Envoy Says Palestinian Statehood Only Option
[Reuters-Washington Post] Mohammed Assadi - U.S. envoy George Mitchell assured the Palestinians on Wednesday of Washington's commitment to a state of their own. Mitchell, speaking after talks with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, urged both sides to meet their obligations under a 2003 peace "Roadmap." Mitchell will now continue on to Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. He said Washington sought "a comprehensive regional peace which not only involves Israel and the Palestinians, but Syrians, the Lebanese and all the surrounding countries."
