Egypt: Ball is in Israel's court on peace

Asked to comment on Israel's attempts to put all the blame of violence on the Palestinians, Egypt's Political Presidential Adviser Osama Al Baz said the ball is now in the Israeli court. It must accept without hesitation the application of the plan. Israel had alleged that it had accepted the roadmap within the framework of President George Bush's address on June 24 of 2002. "But at that date President Bush did not present any maps or any programs to be implemented," he said.
