President Bush, summing up meetings with both sides in Israeli-Palestinian dispute, said Thursday that a peace accord will require "painful political concessions" by each. Resolving the status of Jerusalem will be hard, he said and he called for the end of the "occupation" of Arab land by the Israeli military.
Bush gave his most detailed summation yet of what a final peace should include, including U.S expectations for the resolution of some of the hardest issues in the violent conflict, one of the world's longest-running and most intractable. He used tough language intended to put both side on notice that he sees no reason that cannot get down to serious business,"starting right now".
