Symbolic peace accord authors meet wolfowitz Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://famulus.msnbc.com/FamulusIntl/reuters12-03-120253.asp?reg=MIDEAST http://famulus.msnbc.com/FamulusIntl/reuters12-03-120253.asp?reg=MIDEAST Symbolic Mideast accord authors to meet Wolfowitz JERUSALEM, Dec. 3 — The co-authors of a Middle East peace blueprint are due to meet U.S. Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, raising transatlantic tensions over a plan assailed by Israel's right-wing government as treacherous. Uri Zaki, a spokesman for Israeli leftist Yossi Beilin, said on Wednesday that a delegation of Geneva Accord architects, including Beilin and former Palestinian cabinet minister Yasser Abed Rabbo, would meet Wolfowitz in Washington on Friday. The meeting with Wolfowitz, one of the Bush administration's leading advocates of Israel, is the second planned with a U.S. official that day. Israel's government is already angry at a meeting planned with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Powell it would be wrong to put his imprimatur on the peace plan by receiving its authors. The prime minister's office declined comment on the Wolfowitz meeting. Beilin and Abed Rabbo, along with other moderates, conceived the Geneva Accord, launched this week in Switzerland, to fill a void after three years of violence bereft of serious peace talks. The initiative would require Israel to hand over lands it occupied in the 1967 Middle East war and share sovereignty over Jerusalem to create a Palestinian state. Copyright 2003 Reuters Limited.
