The Geneva Peace Accord

The co-authors of a symbolic Palestinian-Israeli peace accord are scheduled to meet US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz in Washington, a move likely to deepen a spat between the United States and its ally Israel.

...The meeting with Wolfowitz, one of Bush administration's staunchest advocates of Israel, would likely raise tensions between Washington and Israel's right-wing government, already angry over a meeting planned for the same day between the co-authors and US Secretary of State Colin Powell.

...The Palestinian Authority has given the unofficial plan only half-hearted support, while Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s government has opposed it outright.

A symbolic accord that neither side for whom the accord is supposedly structured supports. How's that going to work?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
