Sharon Proposes "Road Map" Revisions
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn and Gideon Alon - Commenting on the road-map plan for peace in the Middle East worked out by the Quartet - the U.S., EU, UN, and Russia - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday: Palestinian Authority compliance with demands for security reforms is a precondition to progress. Israel will not agree to move forward on the road-map plan unless the PA fully meets its obligations. No final status issues are to be discussed at this stage. Sharon also revealed that Russia has halted plans to sell the SA-18 mobile ground-to-air missile to Syria, saying it did so "at Israel's request." (Jerusalem Post)
