U.S.: American Roadmap Monitors Will Report, Not Judge


[Ha'aretz] Mazal Mualem and Barak Ravid - Three U.S. generals will monitor Israeli and Palestinian compliance with the Roadmap for peace, but won't act as judges, a senior U.S. official said Saturday. The same source said that U.S. Secretary of State Rice plans frequent Mideast trips to reach a peace deal by the end of 2008. A three-way committee headed by Lt. Gen. William M. Fraser III, a U.S. air force general, will now deal with grievances, mainly over noncompliance with the Roadmap. However, the general's mandate falls short of a judge, said the U.S. official. Fraser will send his findings back to Washington, the official said. "The judging...would be done at a higher level," he said. The general will be based in Washington, but will make frequent trips to the region.
