BBC NEWS | Middle East | US 'actively seeks' Mid-East deal

BBC News reports: "The US envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, has said Washington is committed to 'actively and aggressively' seeking lasting peace. [...] Following the meeting he called for Israel to open the crossing points into Gaza and for the Palestinian Authority to participate in a border regime in Gaza that prevents, Hamas, the militant group that controls the territory, from rearming."

Comment: I think he needs to be honest about defining the Palestinian Authority as Fatah and not Hamas or the entire effort will fall apart...which may be a good thing.
