The route is mapped, now get going

摘要

Ehas been an eventful week. On April 29th, the Palestinian parliament approved the government appointed by Mahmoud Abbas, the new prime minister. A few hours later, a suicide bomber, apparently a British citizen, killed himself and three others outside a crowded restaurant in Tel Aviv. Israel then retaliated, killing at least seven people in Gaza. The first act removes the latest condition for revealing the road map, an international effort to end 31 months of blood-soaked Israeli-Palestinian violence. The others underscore the urgency.
