Meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmad Quraya in Ramallah.

Snippet from my blog:

'After meandering through an almost abandoned area of streets we came upon the compound of Prime Minister Almad Quraya'. He briefed us on where he saw security, he was glad about the cease fire, but felt strongly that without the assurance of security, return of prisoners as he defined them, and economic relief it would be difficult. We pushed him on the need for stopping terrorist activities and told him that the US wanted to be helpful but was watching carefully the actions of the new government particularly where it concerned Hamas.'
