President Bush Assures: "United States Will Be Actively Engaged in Laying Out Palestine State Living in Peace with Israel"

November 29, 2007

Remarks by President George W. Bush at Annapolis Conference held on November 28, 2007.

"I appreciate the commitment of these leaders to working hard to achieve peace. I wouldn't be standing here if I didn't believe that peace was possible, and they wouldn't be here either if they didn't think peace was possible.

It's very important for the international community to support these two leaders during the bilateral negotiations that will take place. And one thing I've assured both gentlemen is that the United States will be actively engaged in the process, that we will use our power to help you, as you come up with the necessary decisions to lay out a Palestinian state that will live side by side in peace with Israel."
