Rice Pushes for Mid-East Progress

Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice is in Israel to press for progress on a major international conference on the creation of a future Palestinian state. She will meet Palestinian and Israeli leaders to agree a framework for the meeting, which is expected to take place in the United States in late November. She has warned she is not expecting any imminent breakthroughs. Palestinians want a list of specific differences to be on the table, while Israel wants a more general statement.
