Widespread Support for ‘Geneva Initiative’

The United States and Egypt are among countries sending top officials to Switzerland for the December 1 signing of the unofficial ‘Geneva Initiative’.

Palestinian and Israeli doves have put together the plan that includes sweeping concessions on the part of Israel, including handing over Jerusalem’s Temple Mount to the Palestinians.

The keynote speaker at the ceremony will be former American President Jimmy Carter.

The guest list may include representatives of Morocco and Qatar, along with former American officials Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Sandy Berger, Brent Scowcroft and James Baker, according to Israel’s Channel 1 television.

Israel’s President Moshe Katsav met one of the Palestinian co-authors of the initiative on Wednesday, Yasir ‘Abd Rabboh.

Katsav told his guest he approves of any attempt to create peace but only the Israeli government and parliament have the right to negotiate.
