TEL AVIV, June 23, 2008, (WAFA)-French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that an agreement between Palestinians and Israelis is possible, tomorrow, and that agreement would allow the two peoples to live side-by-side in peace and security.

During their meeting on diplomatic affairs, Sarkozy stressed that the peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority should progress. 'Those who will make peace in the end will be Israelis and Palestinians,' the French president said.

At the start of a three-day visit to Israel, Sarkozy said it is important for the Palestinians to establish a state of their own.

Referring to the settlements, Sarkozy said that it must be said loudly ­ the decision to build settlements in East Jerusalem is not good for Israel.

'I believe that the path to peace lies there before us, that the path to peace is not blocked. I have come to bring my support and that of France and the European Union, your partners in the negotiations.'
