The Israeli Initiative
"The dangerous Annapolis Conference", I told PM Olmert during our meeting on Monday, "is your personal initiative and not President Bushs. Im presenting you The Israeli Initiative, so that we all have a ready alternative, after Annapolis will inevitably fail."
Since the establishment of the State of Israel, we have longed for peace with our Arab neighbors. We dream of a day when we can devote our efforts not to war and basic survival but rather towards the growth and prosperity of our country.
Israel has made painful concessions for security but despite our efforts, the Israeli-Arab conflict rages on. The Oslo Accords backfired. The withdrawal from Gaza strengthened our enemies and lead them to believe that terrorism works. Now the government is planning to divide Jerusalem and create a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria. Our capitulations, withdrawals and disengagements have resulted in bloodshed and an emboldened enemy. Hamas controls Gaza, Kassam rockets rain down on the residents of Sderot, and Hizbullah has directed their missiles towards Haifa.
