Titolo: Olmert urges Palestinian action (BBC)

Giova ricordare che l'azione unilaterale di Israele comprenderebbe 
l'inclusione dei grossi insediamenti ad est di Gerusalemme, di 
Gerusalemme stessa, e della frontiera con la Giordania. Quali di queste 
parti sono negoziabili? Mistero.

Olmert urges Palestinian action
 
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says he is ready to negotiate peace 
with the Palestinians but not until Hamas rejects violence and 
recognises Israel. 
"I extend my hand in peace to Mahmoud Abbas, the elected president of 
the Palestinian Authority," Mr Olmert said in a keynote speech to the US 
Congress.
But Israel "will not give a terrorist regime a veto over progress or 
allow it to take hope hostage," he said.
Israel, the US and the EU consider Hamas a terrorist organisation.
 Hamas, which dominates the PA, has refused to recognise Israel. It won 
elections in January and formed a government.
   The Palestinian leadership that fulfils its commitments and 
obligations will find us a willing partner in peace  
Ehud Olmert
At talks on Tuesday, President George W Bush supported Mr Olmert's idea 
to redraw Israel's borders unilaterally if peace talks failed.
A Hamas spokesman said that would spell the end for the Palestinian 
cause.
There is concern in the US that Israel may go it alone - without at 
least consulting other countries, says the BBC's Jonathan Beale in 
Washington.
Mr Olmert's appeal to Mr Abbas was in stark contrast to his earlier 
criticism that the Palestinian leader was powerless and weak, says our 
correspondent.
Israel's prime minister appears to have heeded US calls for him to make 
an effort to engage with moderate Palestinians, he says.
Conditions 
Mr Olmert was addressing a joint session of US Congress - a rare honour 
reserved for close allies of the US.
Israel, he said, was willing to negotiate peace with the PA - but it had 
to "renounce terrorism, dismantle terrorism infrastructure, recognise 
previous agreement and recognise the right of Israel to exist".
Mr Olmert repeated that Israel could not wait for the Palestinians 
forever.
"The Palestinian leadership that fulfils its commitments and obligations 
will find us a willing partner in peace.
"Should we realise that the bilateral track with the Palestinians is of 
no consequence, should the Palestinians ignore our outstretched hand for 
peace, Israel will seek other alternatives to promote our future, and 
the prospects of hope in the Middle East. At that juncture, the time for 
realignment will occur.
   The US administration will favour what Mr Olmert is after... to put 
the Hamas government in a weaker position

   "We will move forward - but not alone," he said citing US support for 
Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip last year.
It now remains to be seen how much faith Mr Olmert has in the PA 
president and how far he is prepared to go - or whether he is simply 
going through the motions, our correspondent says.
Mr Olmert's plan envisages the withdrawal of tens of thousands of 
Israelis from isolated settlements in the West Bank while, at the same 
time, consolidating other settlements housing hundreds of thousands of 
others.
Palestinians see the Israeli plan as a land grab of territory captured 
by Israel in 1967 and have condemned it.

 parti sono negoziabili?
Quali parti di una proposta sono negoziabili lo si scopre negoziando. Se 
lo si dice prima si perde tutto il mistero.
