The PA Minister for Prisoner Affairs, Ashraf al-Ajrami, declared at a press conference in Geneva today:”Nothing is coming out of the tens of meetings between PM Olmert and President Abbas.” He also stated that no written agreements or proposals existed between Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and her PA counterpart.

The central issue, according to Ajrami, is Israel's refusal to acknowledge "a right of return" for millions of Arabs who claim former residency or familial ties within Israel's borders.
