Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Sunday according to Reuters that Isreal and the Palestinians have never been so close to peace.
This, I have actually heard before, usually once a decade give or take.
But this is a new day. Pressure for a settlement with Palestine is greater than ever on both sides. There is much respect for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the controversial French President Nicolas Sarkozy is the architect.
For Olmert it's a make or break deal, facing multiple corruption and bribery charges this would go a long way to restoring his image.
Abbas has only upsides, and For Sarkozy, this would launch him into global rockstar status. Between a peace deal here and his "Mediterranean Union" he may be the hero of the week.
