El ministro del Exterior italiano dice que Annapolis es "un cambio real"
November 29, 2007 (LPAC)--Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema told La7 television that the Annapolis meeting is "a real shift" for two reasons: First, the U.S. realized that you cannot rely on the "peace process"; you need to make a "peace treaty, sit around the table, solve controversial issues and write in the treaty how the Palestinian state can be born (borders, refugees, water, colonies, Jerusalem...)" Secondly, the U.S. made a direct commitment, putting its credibility on the line. Bush said: "I will be the arbiter."
D'Alema said that the Saudi Arabian contribution is "fundamental," as it opened a new phase: "Offering Israel the historical opportunity, in exchange for the withdrawal within the '67 borders, that the Arab world would recognize Israel. The stakes are very high".
