Brussels, 18/07/2002 (Agence Europe) - On Tuesday, International Crisis Group published three reports described as "clear, detailed and comprehensive blueprints for a permanent Israeli-Palestinian agreement". It wants the reports to be used by the contact group (combining the "Quartet" of the US, the EU, Russia and the UN, and the Trio of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan) and believes the US is best placed to lead the group. The ICG Middle East Program Director Robert Malley said: "The ends stated by President Bush are laudable… but the means are questionable". The three reports highlight areas the ICG feels are vital for peace in the Middle East (security, territorial and refugee issues), including border proposals for a state of Palestine, dividing Jerusalem into two capitals, financial compensation, transferring refugees and de-militarising the Palestinian state. The reports stress the need for "peace treaties with Syria and Lebanon as well".
