Israel should follow up today's informal summit, hosted by King Abdullah of Jordan, with an immediate stop of its so-called "targetted" missile attacks on Palestinians. The breakfast meeting at which Prime Minister Olmert and President Abbass embraced on global TV was good, even promising. But we need a lot more than foto-shoots, now. Things are getting worse on a daily basis. This can't be good for either side. No! Change, positive change is due...NOW.

We thank both His Majesty and the tireless, ever (he says he doesn't mind being called over- !) optimistic Shimon Peres for the ice-breaking get-together.

Let the Hamas leadership not rock the boat, please. Peace is long overdue!
