- Story Text: U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has arrived in the
Middle East to advance a new "road map" plan for peace between
Israel and the Palestinians.
Powell, who touched down in Tel Aviv in late afternoon,
told reporters on the plane he would press both sides to start
implementing security and humanitarian steps prescribed by the
plan before agreeing further details.
The road map envisages a Palestinian state by 2005 in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip, lands Israel took in a 1967 war.
Palestinian leaders have endorsed the plan but Israel's
right-wing government has raised objections on security
grounds.
