Rice Postpones Trip
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice postponed her trip to Israel that was supposed to take place next week. She was scheduled to meet with Israeli and PA officials about “benchmarks” that each side would need before a return to the negotiating table became realistic.
Israel has expressed reservations about the benchmarks, and Arab terror groups, including those linked to the Fatah faction, have rejected it outright.
