REMARKS BY SECRETARY OF STATE COLIN L. POWELL BEFORE MEETING WITH
PEACE COALITION MEMBERS
Jerusalem April 16, 2002
QUESTION: What do you expect, a roadmap for Israeli withdrawal and a
statement by Yasser Arafat condemning terrorism before you leave; and
also for Mr. Beilin and Mr. Safir, do you think that the Israeli
military offensive over the last few weeks has hurt chances for a
cease-fire?
SECRETARY: We are just going to start having a brief conversation. The
question to me on the left I will answer in due course at some length
tomorrow as I conclude my visit here.
