WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) said Israel must help the creation of a viable Palestinian state and that Palestinians must "actively confront terrorist groups."
"We seek two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. And that goal is within reach if all of the parties meet their responsibilities and if terrorism is brought to an end," he said.
"Arab states must end incitement in their own media, cut off public and private funding for terrorism, stop their support for extremist education, and establish normal relations with Israel," he said in a speech.
"Israel must freeze settlement activity, help the Palestinians build a thriving economy and ensure that a new Palestinian state is truly viable with contiguous territory on the West Bank.
"Palestinian leaders must fight corruption, encourage free enterprise, rest true authority with the people and actively confront terrorist groups," he said.
