From the New York Times: "The Israeli and Palestinian leaders committed themselves on Tuesday to negotiate a peace treaty by the end of 2008, setting a deadline for ending a conflict that has endured for six decades.
"The agreement stopped short of the binding negotiating outline that many Palestinians had hoped for, but it revived a peace process that the United States had left dormant for seven years."
The joint understanding agreed to by Israeli and Palestinian leaders has been posted on the State Department and White House websites.
The White House Peace in the Middle East website includes statements from President Bush and related press releases. The State Department site on the Middle East Peace processes includes official remarks at the Annapolis Conference, transcripts of Secretary Rice's interviews, and historic documents.
The Annapolis Conference website includes logistical information about the conference: participants, the schedule, and media information.
