"There is a virtual consensus across the international community not just as to what needs to happen, but how...which was not the case a couple of years ago," Tony Blair
"The Security Council reiterates its commitment to the irreversibility of
the bilateral negotiations built upon previous agreements and obligations. The
Council reiterates its call for renewed and urgent efforts by the parties and the
international community to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in
the Middle East, based on the vision of a region where two democratic States,
Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized
borders."
UN Security Council President speaking on behalf of the Council, May 11, 2009
