Israeli official: U.S. Secretary of State should not meet ``Geneva Accord'' organizers

Israeli official: U.S. Secretary of State should not meet ``Geneva Accord'' organizers: "Reversing his initial lukewarm initial response, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat sent a message to the Geneva gathering warmly praising the virtual treaty, calling it 'a brave initiative that opens the door to peace.'

However, militant Palestinian groups denounced the accord and called the Palestinian negotiators 'traitors,' objecting to concessions over the return of refugees to their original homes in Israel.
In reaction from the Arab world, the newspaper 'Oman' praised the accord. In an editorial, the paper described it as the first true Palestinian or Arab document that gives a comprehensive vision for a solution to all the issues and paves the way for a Palestinian state. "

Okay, when I see the hardline nutjobs on both side being unhappy with the deal, then we are on the right road.
