President Bush Attends Secretary of State’s Dinner with Annapolis Conference Participants
On Monday, President Bush said, “We’ve come together this week because we share a common goal: two democratic states — Israel and Palestine — living side by side in peace and security. Achieving this goal requires difficult compromises — and the Israelis and Palestinians have elected leaders committed to making them. Achieving this goal requires neighbors committed to peace between Israel and a new Palestinian state — and I’m encouraged by the presence of so many here. Achieving this goal requires the commitment of the international community, including the United States. Tonight I restate my personal commitment on behalf of the United States to all those in the Middle East who wish to live in freedom and peace: We stand with you, at the Annapolis Conference and beyond.”

Statement by the President on Russia
I am deeply concerned about the detention of numerous human rights
activists and political leaders who participated in peaceful rallies
in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Nizhniy Novgorod, and Nazran this

enforcement authorities to stop these peaceful activities and to
prevent some journalists and human rights activists from covering
them. -
