Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday that the peace in the Middle East starts from "the Holy Land in Palestine."
In a joint news conference with visiting U.S. President George W. Bush in Ramallah, Abbas called on Israel to fulfill its commitments to a Mideast peace plan, saying he hopes "this will be the year for the creation of peace."
Meanwhile, Abbas hailed Bush's "commitment to achieve his vision of establishing an independent Palestinian statehood." "Our people, who selected the peace as a strategic choice, want to see this vision coming into being by your support and commitment," Abbas addressed Bush.
