Do not Think About Peace, But Implement It

Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul made advice to his Palestinian colleague Nebil Saat, in a Brussels style. He said "Israel is ready for peace. But thoughts are not enough. The important thing is practice. " At a press conference with Saat, Gul reminded both Israel and Palestine the "Practicing rules of the European Union."ISRAEL IS OPEN Gul said that "I saw that the Israeli side is ready to do whatever it can for peace. But they want the suicide raids to end. They voiced clear support to the peace process. But good will is not enough, implementation is necessary. I hope that the practices also continue."TURKISH TROOPS In his address, Saat said that the provisional international existence of Turkey in Al Khalil might be expanded to other areas. He thus gave the message that they favored the deployment of a Turkish mission force in Gaza. MEETING SCANDAL A meeting scandal occurred on the last day of Gul in the region. Gul wanted to meet the new PLO leader Mahmuut Abbas. However Abbas who waas preparing for Sunday's elections, could not leave his prospective voters in Al Khalil. For this reason Gul had to wait for 3.5 hours for Abbas, in the hotel. Speaking to Mithat Bereket from NTV, Gul said that he had important talks with both Israel and Palestine and "Turkey will carry out very important tasks in the region in the coming term." Â
