The Roadmap for Peace; The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone
The Roadmap for Peace
Many people think that now is the time to jumpstart the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, after the defeat of Saddam Hussein and the end of Gulf War II. The Bush Administration wants both parties to come to the table to implement the Roadmap for Peace, supported by the European Union, the United Nations and Russia. This latest plan for peace involves three stages, and includes no new settlements and the establishment of a Palestinian state with "provisional" borders by 2004. The Palestinian Authority installed a new Prime Minister, Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, but it has been unable to stop the suicide bombings that continue to terrorize the Israeli public. Ariel Sharon has said that he will make "painful concessions," but not before things stabilize within the Palestinian Authority. Sharon has "deferred" his visit to the White House, scheduled for May 20th, due to the suicide bombings over the weekend, coming as he met with Mahmoud Abbas to begin a dialogue for peace. Joining host Larry Mantle to talk about the Roadmap for Peace from the Jewish/Israeli perspective is Rabbi Gary Greenebaum, Western Regional Director of the American Jewish Committee, Daniel Sokatch, Executive Director of the Progressive Jewish Alliance, and Deputy Consul General Zvi Vapni. This is a two-part program. Tune in at the same time tomorrow to hear the Palestinian/Arab perspective on the Roadmap for Peace.
