Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon have declared a truce to end four years of Middle East violence.
Mr Abbas said the ceasefire, which begins immediately, would lead to a "new era of peace and hope".

Mr Sharon vowed to cease military action against Palestinian targets, in response to a cessation of violence by militant groups.

The announcement was made at talks in the Egyptian resort of Sharm al-Sheikh.

They were the highest level talks between the two sides since the Palestinian intifada (uprising) began more than four years ago.

The talks were also attended by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah.

Israeli officials said after the summit that Mr Sharon had invited Mr Abbas to his farm in southern Israel.

The BBC's Heba Saleh in Sharm al-Sheikh says Mr Abbas so far seems to have secured an informal truce by Palestinian factions, but it is not clear whether they will accept the Israeli offer.

Hamas militants gave a lukewarm reaction to the summit, with the group's representative in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan, saying the ceasefire declarations were "not binding" on its members.

Mr Hamdan told the Associated Press news agency that Mr Abbas had taken a "unilateral stand" that was "not the result of the outcome of an intra-Palestinian dialogue".

'New era'

TV pictures showed Mr Abbas and Mr Sharon smiling as they shook hands across a table at the talks.

The two leaders said they aimed to stop violence between Israelis and Palestinians.

"We have agreed on halting all violent actions against Palestinians and Israelis, wherever they are," Mr Abbas said.

"The calm which will prevail in our lands starting from today is the beginning of a new era."

Mr Sharon said: "For the first time in a long time, there is hope in our region for a better future for us and our grandchildren."

He said Israel had made some painful sacrifices for the Palestinians.

"To our Palestinian neighbours, I would like to promise that we have a genuine intention for you to live in independence. We do not want to control your lives," he said.

Mr Sharon also reaffirmed his promise to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and said the two sides had agreed on transferring "certain Palestinian areas" from Israeli to Palestinian control.

Under the arrangement, Israel will withdraw its troops from Jericho and four West Bank towns within three weeks, Palestinian negotiator Hassan Abu Libdeh later told AP.

Envoys to return

Mr Mubarak, who hosted the talks, hailed their "positive spirit".

"The task is very great, but our hopes are greater," he said.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit told reporters at the summit that Egypt and Jordan would soon be returning their ambassadors to Israel after a four-year absence.

Mr Sharon had refused to meet the previous Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, saying he was an obstacle to peace.

But since Arafat's death and the election of Mr Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority, the Israelis believe they have a partner they can do business with, says BBC World Affairs Correspondent Paul Welsh.

3,225 Palestinians killed by Israelis (3,135 by military in the occupied territories, 54 by military inside Israel, 34 by settlers in the occupied territories)
950 Israeli killed by Palestinians (431 inside Israel, 218 settlers, 218 soldiers on duty in the occupied territories

PAD won't shut up after this. Seriously. Not to say I hope it falls through I just hope Bush gets credit for none of this.
He should never be mentioned in the same breath as Jimmy Carter or be called Peacemaker. Sorry if I sound bitter but the man is a mediocre President and I don't want the history books painting him as anything else.
 
Bush really didn't have squat to do with it. I'm sure that won't stop him from taking credit for it, though.
 
Crazy coincidence number two?

[quote name='E-Z-B']Mahmud Abbas has been identified as Mabus, the antichrist:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/6/prweb131954.htm

Here's this guy's predictions from June of this year.

Everything he has placed in that article has come true, and this is BEFORE Arafat was even sick.

"Arafat will die. Mahmud Abbas will take power in Palestine, quell terrorism and sign with Israel. Abbas will be assassinated and resurrected. China will take northern Asia. This chain of events will fulfill prophecy in 2005, and more follows, including Abbas ruling the EU, China killing 1/3 of men, the apocalypse, the sun turning red, and Armageddon. "

Armageddon in 8 years
The end was known from the beginning. Prophecy is proof. Prophecies are being fulfilled. If Israel makes their treaty in 2005 as planned, Armageddon will take place in 2012.

(PRWEB) June 9, 2004 --
Israel will sign a peace treaty in 2005. Armageddon will follow seven years later, according to a plethora of prophecies coming true. I may be wrong, but imagine how important this book is if I’m right. In The Remnant, I reveal the history that led us here and the future according to prophecy. The book’s first line is, “The end was known from the beginning. Prophecy is proof.”

The book describes a frightening future that appears to get closer each day. In light of current events, The Remnant forewarns that according to prophecy this world will end in 2012. Several expect it saying, “You would think so, with all of the suicidal terrorists.”

According to prophecy, this world will end, but a new one will follow, and a select few will live on into a new peaceful world. Read The Remnant to understand.

According to prophecy, after Israel's peace treaty is signed, Mabus will be assassinated, and resurrected. He will claim to be God, rule the western world, require that people take his 666 mark, and execute dissidents. The sun will go red. China will slay one third of mankind. In 2012, Mabus will lead the West against the East in the Battle of Armageddon. A worldwide earthquake will interrupt the battle. Then the creator comes.

What evidence is there?
Prophecies fulfilled are the evidence. Prophecies hundreds and thousands of years old are happening. In 1948 Israel retook Palestine, as prophesied 2,400 years earlier. Two thousand years ago, a “200 million man” army was prophesied. China has built exactly that army. Now they are 30 years old, nuclear, and overdue to deploy. Imagine they acquire all of the Slavic nuclear missiles and weapons of mass destruction. Cossacks are outnumbered 200 to 1. No nation can resist China. Prophecies say they will kill 1/3rd of mankind before they arrive to fight westerners in The Battle of Armageddon in northern Israel.

The Remnant takes readers on a fascinating journey through the Biblical history that has led to this moment. The book unveils what happens next. Readers will recognize prophetic fulfillment in coming years, fortifying belief in creation.

The end is inevitable, but when? Ignoring prophecy – especially as we see it unfold – and not preparing is foolishness. The more prophecies we witness, the less time there is to get ready. When doubt is gone and all believe, it will be too late for preparation.

This story spans all time, 7000 years. It is a philosophical look at creation and the creator’s purposes. Religion is absent from this book. As it foretells the future, The Remnant depicts a window of time to brace for the final years. For many the end is paradise, while for the others the end will be less pleasant.

A Word about Prophecies:
To see one prophecy fulfilled, to know that what was forecast thousands of years ago has just happened, is astonishing. But now we have a cavalcade of prophecies to consider:
Israel has occupied Palestine more than 50 years, and Arabs plot to eliminate them. As prophesied they were scattered and lost their land for 2400 years. In 1948 Israel retook Palestine. Now prophecy says Israel will never leave Palestine again. But they will sign a peace treaty with the Antichrist and suffer for seven years until their messiah returns. That is the big day.

The Israeli peace treaty was prophesied 2000 years ago in the Bible. They sign with the Antichrist whom Nostradamus named Mabus. When he is revealed, the Bible says everyone will see him. On April 29, 2003 a Palestinian leader whose name sounds like Mabus, Mahmud Abbas appeared on every news channel worldwide and on front pages around the world the next morning. Today he waits. After Arafat is gone, Israeli leaders hope to sign the treaty with Abbas. That treaty precedes the Apocalypse and Armageddon.

After the peace treaty, as foretold in the Bible and by Nostradamus, the Antichrist will be assassinated, shot in the head and resurrected. Palestine will then join the European Union, and Mabus will be the EU’s god, risen from the dead. Mabus will insist everyone worship him taking his 666 mark on their right hand or forehead. This will be how people buy/sell, with no currency. Those who refuse the mark will either starve or be executed. But the chosen few will live to the end without taking that mark. They alone will survive the creator’s return.

200 million man army – This was prophesied 2000 years ago, before the word “million” existed. The prophecy literally says “200 thousand thousand.” China has assembled a 200 million man army, unintentionally fulfilling that prophecy. 500 years ago Nostradamus predicted that in 2005 China will take most of the region north of them. The Bible says China’s army will slaughter one third of the people on Earth. Other prophecies say how this army will take Turkey and try, but fail to take Israel. And finally there’s Armageddon. It appears to be the western bid to stop the Chinese army from taking the whole world.
A rare white buffalo was born 8/20/1994 in Wisconsin.

American Indians had a 2000-year-old prophecy that this buffalo would be born and live through years of trouble into a long age of peace. In recognition of fulfillment of this prophecy, the white buffalo calf has its own website: http://www.homestead.com/WhiteBuffaloMiracle/. Here are general overviews of the prophecy: http://www.kstrom.net/isk/arvol/lamedeer.html and http://www.kstrom.net/isk/arvol/buffpipe.html. The sacred pipe and seven primary Indian rituals and ceremonies stem from this prophecy. But this prophecy is being fulfilled now, and it will through the lifetime of the white buffalo calf, named Miracle.

Arafat will die. Mahmud Abbas will take power in Palestine, quell terrorism and sign with Israel. Abbas will be assassinated and resurrected. China will take northern Asia. This chain of events will fulfill prophecy in 2005, and more follows, including Abbas ruling the EU, China killing 1/3 of men, the apocalypse, the sun turning red, and Armageddon.

Abbas ousts 3 security officers after Gaza attack

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas fired three key security officers Thursday after Palestinian militants fired mortars at Israeli communities in Gaza, a Palestinian official said.

Yeah unfortunately I don't think a peace treaty like this will ever fully work, there are too many blood-thirsty groups or factions like Hamas that exist there with the sole purpose of creating more violence and war despite the fact that the majority just wants peace.

Hamas and other groups are angry that they weren't consulted. They said they want to see how serious Israel is before they agree. They are also claiming that it was not their breaking of the ceasefire, that was retaliation for a palestinian man killed by Israel, which did occur before the rocket attack. Israel claims they shot him because he was too close to the settlement, and they thought he was trying to infiltrate it.

Though I do wonder how Abbas is being viewed in palestine. He has to control the street and keep the respect of the street, otherwise he can do and say all he wants but he won't get anywhere.
