(By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writer) It won't happen on President Bush's watch, but Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says his promise of an independent Palestinian state will be met. President-elect Obama shares the goal of Palestinian statehood and has pledged to tackle Mideast peacemaking earlier and more enthusiastically than Bush did. While not achieving their ultimate goal before Bush leaves office in January, peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have laid the groundwork for success as long as Obama and the two parties follow through on incremental progress made, Rice said Friday. "The distance to that peace has been narrowed, although the peace has not yet been achieved," Rice said halfway through what could be her final mission to Israel and the West Bank. "It is not surprising that a conflict that has now gone on for decades may take some more to resolve, but the right elements are there," she said. It was nearly a year ago, in late November 2007, that Bush convened an international peace summit in Annapolis, Md., and announced that he would help shepherd an agreement to end the long-standing conflict before the end of this year. Rice has made eight trips to the region since, but has not been directly involved in negotiations. Israeli and Palestinian Negotiators have been meeting regularly, despite frustration over the pace and scope of the talks on the Palestinian side and internal political turmoil on ...

(By KARIN LAUB, Associated Press Writer) A senior Palestinian official said Wednesday the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers will meet early next month at Sharm el-Sheik to assess progress in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting's date has not been announced, said the gathering in Egypt would include U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The aim is to hear the progress Israeli and Palestinian Negotiators have made in their talks. The so-called Quartet is made up of the U.N., the U.S., the European Union and Russia. Rice had asked Egypt to host the meeting before President Bush's term ends in January. Bush hosted a peace conference in Annapolis, Md., a year ago and has expressed hope for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal before year's end. Separately, Nabil Shaath, a top aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said Abbas will go to Egypt for the Nov. 9 start of power-sharing talks with Hamas. Abbas has shunned Hamas since the group seized the Gaza Strip by force in 2007. The Quartet is expected to meet sometime around that date. Hamas and Fatah are to talk about forming a joint Palestinian government, rebuilding the security forces and setting a date for presidential and legislative elections. Several rounds of power-sharing talks have failed since Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2006. Egypt has been mediating contacts between the rival groups. ...

Mideast mediators meet Sunday in a bid to preserve U.S.-backed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks despite their looming failure to produce a deal by year's end. With an agreement not in sight after nearly 12 months of negotiations, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will press the two sides and fellow mediators to reaffirm their commitment to the peace process even after the end-of-the-Bush-administration deadline for a pact passes. Israeli and Palestinian Negotiators are to present a report card on what they have achieved in secret discussions since the deadline was set at last November's Mideast peace conference in Annapolis, Md., but are not expected to get into specifics, officials said. Then the mediators are expected to give their blessing to continuing the Annapolis process, which sets out a multi-pronged approach to achieving peace that includes building up Palestinian institutions in anticipation of the creation of an independent Palestine. Rice headed into the meeting after three days of talks in Israel and the Palestinian territories during which she acknowledged that the year-end deadline could not be met due to political uncertainty in Israel but insisted the process must continue and could succeed. ...

The Egyptian government indefinitely postponed reconciliation talks between Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas, setting up a possible new leadership battle between the two sides. The factional summit, originally scheduled to start Monday, was meant to resurrect the short-lived national unity government that collapsed in June 2007, leaving the militant group Hamas controlling the Gaza Strip and Fatah ruling the West Bank. Hamas officials told Egyptian Negotiators that they would boycott the talks after failing to come to agreement with Fatah over the fate of several hundred Hamas supporters and politicians jailed in the West Bank. Hamas official Ahmed Youssef confirmed that the two sides had reached a stalemate over the prisoner release. "There is still time to find a way to handle this," said Youssef, a senior advisor to former Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, the top Hamas leader in Gaza. ...

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, right meets with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice after her arrival in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008. Top officials from the international diplomatic "Quartet" on the Middle East will be briefed by Israeli and Palestinian Negotiators on the progress of the peace talks on Sunday. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with her Russian counterpart on Saturday as they sought to ease escalating tensions in the waning weeks of the Bush administration. In what may be one of her last such session with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as the chief U.S. diplomat, Rice hosted Lavrov at her hotel in this Egyptian Red Sea resort for an 80-minute discussion that the State Department described as "good and productive." Despite the length of the private meeting, there was no sign either side had budged on its position on the most contentious issues, notably missile defense, arms control and Russia's war with Georgia. Neither Rice nor Lavrov made any public comment after the meeting, which also covered efforts ...
The domestic Israeli political scene and balance of powers have a very strong effect on the peace process and the domestic Palestinian scene. The Israeli balance of power is in turn deeply influenced by Israeli public opinion. The latter sets the limits for how far Negotiators can go as well as for how far Israeli bulldozers may reach. The Israeli public and its political elite have always fluctuated in terms of their vision and positions vis-a-vis the Palestinians and the occupied Palestinian territories. ...
Palestinian Negotiators said on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's resignation would deal a swinging blow to peace hopes. While the Islamist Hamas hailed the news, Palestinian Negotiators mourned the loss of a man they felt is "serious" about peace. The Palestinian Authority's official position is that the corruption allegations that have dogged Olmert and Wednesday's news he will step down after September's contest for the leadership of his Kadima Party are an internal matter. ...
Uriel Sinai/Getty Images With Turkey-brokered talks involving Syria and the Palestinians slowing, discouraged Israeli Negotiators are instead turning a hopeful eye to the recently resuscitated 2002 Saudi plan for peace in the Middle East. At the core of the agreement is a trade: In exchange for a Palestinian state, Israel would gain normal relations with 22 Arab countries, all of which would recognize Israel's legitimacy. (The Arab League has long endorsed the deal , giving an official stamp of approval in 2007 .) The accord also calls for Israel to give up the occupied territories won in the 1967 war -- the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. Renewed interest in the proposal comes at a pivotal juncture in Israeli politics. Would-be Prime Minister Tzipi Livni, still wooing potential coalition partners, could make a tremendous power play with this deal and her supporters seem to be paving the way for her to do just that. Defense Minister and Labor Party leader Ehud Barak had some encouraging words for Israeli Army radio : There is definitely room to introduce a comprehensive Israeli plan to counter the Saudi plan that would be the basis for a discussion on overall regional peace." On all fronts, Livni, is having a good day. President Shimon Peres granted her an extension , giving her two more weeks to gather the support necessary to take the PM spot. However, potential pitfalls loom. The ultra-Orthod ...
