Middle East

Asked repeatedly if the Prime Minister had used his meeting with the Palestinian Prime Minister earlier today to try to persuade him to sit down with the Israeli Prime Minister to get the roadmap back on track, the PMOS said that everyone was doing what they could to try to move the process forward. The Prime Minister would also be seeing the Israeli Deputy Prime Minister later in the week. Everyone was aware of the need to reinvigorate the process. Pressed repeatedly as to whether the Prime Minister had asked the Palestinian Prime Minister if he would sit down and talk to the Israeli Prime Minister, the PMOS said that sometimes diplomacy could not be boiled down to one black and white issue. In answer to further questions, the PMOS said that just because there had been a series of meetings with key figures relating to the Middle East in the last few days, people should not assume that they heralded or previewed some grand announcement or plan. They were simply a reflection of the desire by all parties to do whatever they could to get things back on track. Everyone recognised the difficulties involved, as the weekend had once again demonstrated.
