20,000 Israelis protested the talks at Jerusalem’s Western Wall

Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas plan to sit down together Dec. 12 to begin a series of U.S.-sponsored biweekly meetings aimed at creating a two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians may live side by side.

The two leaders agreed to a "workplan" for peace during a multinational gathering at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis Nov. 27. But they were careful to make no concrete compromises. Abbas insisted that East Jerusalem become the capital of a Palestinian state, while Olmert linked any deal to Palestinians' fulfilling the conditions of a failed 2003 roadmap.

Crowds of demonstrators gathered dockside in Annapolis, while 20,000 Israelis protested the talks at Jerusalem's Western Wall. In Gaza, which is under control of the militant Islamic group Hamas, more than 100,000 Palestinians turned out against the talks, while a protest in the normally calmer West Bank turned violent—with at least one dead and 24 injured in Hebron. One added element both sides say could reduce violence surrounding upcoming negotiations: the Nov. 29 appointment of retired NATO commander Gen. James L. Jones to oversee security.
