Domestic weaknesses shouldn’t prevent deal, says Blair
Friday, Oct 12, 2007 in Office of Tony Blair, Office of the Quartet RepresentativePalestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert can deliver a peace deal, despite their apparent weakness at home, Tony Blair has said.
Mr Blair told Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper in an interview that both leaders would be strengthened if they managed to reach a deal at a U.S.-sponsored peace conference near Washington next month.
"People say to me the status of both is too weak to reach a deal, but to my mind that is not the issue," Mr Blair said.
