ME Envoy Tony Blair Says 'Quartet to unveil new peace strategy'

The US-led Quartet of Middle East mediators is working on a new strategy for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and is expected to present it in five to six weeks, Quartet envoy Tony Blair has said. The plan is being devised by the Obama administration, with input from others, Blair told Palestinian reporters.

"We're about to get a new framework," Blair said Tuesday evening, adding that he did not know the details. "The reason I say people should be more hopeful, is that this is a framework that is being worked on at the highest level in the American administration, (and) in the rest of the international community."

Blair said the international community was working on a new approach, adding, "The key thing for the next few weeks is to get an agreed strategy and then the key thing for the next few months is to implement it in a way that is credible for people."

The London-based pan-Arab daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported Wednesday that Arab leaders were formulating a new peace offer, more detailed than the original Arab initiative, which will include a proposal for resolving the two thorniest final-status issues in peace talks, Jerusalem and the refugee problem. According to the report, which relied on Palestinian sources, the new initiative was being led by Jordan's King Abdullah II at Obama's behest.

The offer will reportedly call for the establishment of a demilitarized Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the Old City designated as an "international zone." The question of borders will be resolved with land swaps.

Some of the descendants of Palestinian refugees from Israel's War of Independence in 1948 will reportedly be allowed a right of return to the Palestinian state, while others will be naturalized in their countries of residence throughout the Arab world.  Jpost.com

Quartet ME envoy Tony Blair says that a new upgraded framework for Middle East peace will be presented in about 5-6 weeks.  During Jordan King Abdullah's meeting with US President Obama, he presented the highlights of his revised plan that the president has now embraced.  Over the next few weeks, various international and Middle East leaders will be meeting separately with the president to provide their input.  Although, details of the plan have not been finalized, Palestinian sources close to the situation say it could include the following:

The European Union has also said that there will be no upgrade in Israeli-EU relations until Israel accepts a two-state solution.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says he's ready to sit down with the Palestinians and talk peace.  Much will be determined during the meeting between Obama and Netanyahu in early June as to the direction peace talks will take.

One more thing...The Palestinian people will be going to the polls later this year to elect a new government.  Most experts predict that Hamas, who won the last election, will win again in a landslide.  Technically speaking, Fatah and its leader Mahmoud Abbas, would be unseated and replaced by a Hamas government.  Certainly, this would likely be contingent upon Hamas and Fatah working out their differences. 

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not, your time is running out!
