Blair calls for 'total end' to terrorism

[drdon326]

British Prime Minister Tony Blair presented a clear message during his visit to Jerusalem yesterday: The cessation of Palestinian terrorism is a paramount need for the renewal of the peace process, and the quid pro quo from Israel has to be the provision of a diplomatic horizon.

"There has to be a complete and total end to terrorism" in order for peace talks to succeed, Blair said. The world has changed in the last few years and people everywhere are fighting terrorism, he said. Terror was not a means to peace but an obstacle, he added.

In private talks, Blair was even more blunt, saying the Palestinians would get no assistance or political support from Britain unless terror stops. U.S. President George W. Bush will also not help them, he added.

When there are actions, "not just declarations," it will be possible to return to the road map, he said.
