Fayad: PNA Fulfills all Road Map First-Stage Responsibility
RAMALLAH, November 2, 2007 (WAFA)-The Palestinian National Authority PNA said that it has already fulfilled all its first-stage responsibilities, whereas Israel has not fulfilled its obligation to freeze settlement construction and dismantle illegal outposts.
Prime Minister, Salam Fayad said that his government is willing to operate the Gaza Strip border crossings if Israel reopens them.
Fayad confirmed Thursday that he will be working with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and United States Mideast security coordinator Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton to carry out the first phase of the dormant Road Map Plan for peace.
He said implementing the first phase of the Road Map will be key to the success of the U.S.-hosted Mideast conference in Annapolis, Maryland, in November or December.
"If we want the Annapolis conference to be a successful one, and if we want the peace process to get back on track, we have to implement the first phase of the Road Map, and it is possible to implement it," he said.
