"There's a real world outside the Capital Beltway that encircles Washington and its internal politics. So the ceremonial triumph of this week must be used to show generosity and ingenuity and daring. It is high time to come up with a courageous Israeli initiative.
This historic moment is still dangerous. The mistakes of the past 30 months have created an abysmal gap between the Palestinians' expectations, the Israelis' needs and the international community's perceptions. This gap is asking for trouble. It could bring an end to the 18 years of Oslo. It could bring an end to the seven years of Abbas-Fayyad. It could turn a fragile stability into active instability. So today's speech-makers must come to their senses."
Note EU-Digest: "get real".
