"Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has presented a document on settling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the U.S. administration when he met President Barack Obama in Washington, an official Palestinian source said Saturday.

Abbas's proposal was based on the U.S.-backed Road Map peace plan, previous agreements reached between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and the Arab peace initiative, the well-informed source added.

"The plan includes timetables and mechanisms for carrying out the deals to push forward the political process," said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Obama told Abbas that he will send his envoy George Mitchell to the region next week to meet Israeli and Palestinian officials and discuss ways of pushing the stalled peace talks forward."



I hope the Israeli officials are open to what is presented. It would be great if there were positive signals to move this process forward.
