Excerpt;
“US Secy. Of State Rice said that they were praying for the Prime Minister, and noted that the US continues to be committed to the security of the State of Israel and would not allow negative elements to exploit Israel’s internal state in order to escalate the situation. She emphasized that the US stood behind all of its understandings with Prime Minister Sharon regarding the Roadmap and US President George Bush’s two-state vision.”
Commentary;
Is this more spin of the kind we have become accustomed to see from the Sharon Regime? What understandings are being referred to here? Do the “understandings” referred to relate to the Bush April, 2004 letter to Sharon? And what of the interpretations of the letter relating to Settlement blocs, Jewish contiguous area between Jerusalem and Ma’alei Adumim, the unity of Jerusalem under Jewish sovereignty, Arab “right of return” to a “pa(sic) state” and not to Israel, pa (sic) ceasation of all types of terrorism etc.?
Today’s statement released by the Prime Minister’s Media Adviser and other similar subsequent statements, as well as statements of Secretary of State Rice and President Bush will be analysed to ascertain the accuracy, truthfulness and consistency of statements and comments eminating from the Prime Minister’s Office or the Foreign Ministry.
